Bonnet Girl

Really not the subject that I would normally consider painting.

I contemplated also using this for the 'ugly' picture as I really don't like it

[moni kozi]

@salza Sally, this is very cute. I really would not qualify this as ugly. Why would you say that it is? The gradients are really nicely done.

[Sally Ings]

@monikozi it's not that it is ugly as such, I just don't like this type of thing ie in my mind (opinion) it's an ugly design.

[moni kozi]

@salza Well, not only beauty is in the eye of the beholder, is it?

[Susan Wakely]

@salza This reminds me of stencil art. To me this is Twee (excessively or affectedly quaint, pretty, or sentimental) in an old fashioned way.
I guess it is good to try styles that you are not comfortable with.

Makes me think of Holly Hobby and I like the colours and how they blend. Also looks like a stencil it's so perfectly drawn

@salza I totally thought it was a stencil. you’ve done it so well! Fabulous blending of colors!

[Sally Ings]

@grammyn @30pics4jackiesdiamond @wakelys you are all correct it could be called a stencil. I traced a picture that I found in a fabric painting reference book and transfered it onto watercolour paper. There's no way I currently have a steady enough hand to free draw this.

@salza I like the suggestive style of this, the grading on the skirt is so good. A lovely project!

[Kathy]

Even if you don't care for the subject, it seems it was an excellent chance to practice gradient colors.

@salza a holly hobby stencil was my first thought too. But you blended the colours in a great way and it’s been a great way to master this craft too!
