It was awesome. I even bought the book. I am a fan of your sketches. I do not find enough time to do enough of my own! I found your sketches inspiring so I took myself to the Poiret Exhibit.

I saw it too and could not believe how contemporary the designs were even for today. You have an amazing talent and I love your sketches. You have done a lovely job of capturing this show.

Jana: In truth I normally never bother to make color notes on site. I have a basic set of paints and mixes that I use over and over. I need to branch out, actually! For these sketches though, the color was such an important element of the design that I did note them as best I could. Thank you everyone for your very encouraging comments!

There's nothing like the Met for inspiration! The drawings remind me of a wonderful book on costumes that my sister and I shared. Hundreds of pages of incredible color illustrations of the native costumes of different cultures and different periods. I wonder if she still has that book...it was such a treasure (as is your wonderful sketches). I was curious how you remembered the colors to paint when you do the painting in the evening...do you always make color notes in pencil and usually erase them when you're going to paint later?

The exhibit is so darkly lit that it is difficult to see pencil marks on the sketchbook page - yet you managed to make gorgeous paintings of the wonderful tableaus. I love them all, but especially the sketch of the two women in the white and red trim day dresses. Martha,

And to have models who stay still for you to sketch them. Do you sit or stand to sketch? Oo la la! And to have models who stay still for you to sketch them. Do you sit or stand to sketch?
