I am not as proficient at watercolors as I am with some other media but I do love the feel of and look of the color spreading into the paper......for me it is all about the color, especially combinations of color. So it is no surprise that I love the old glamor movie mags from the 40's. They had zero fear of color, they mixed, matched, clashed, whatever and it seemed so appropriate! Anyway I was in the mood to play with watercolor and so for me the natural subject this week happened to be a glamor cigarette ad form the 40's.....
For those who are curious it was a Chesterfield cigarette ad and the actress was Ann Sheridan circa 1947.
Hope everyone has had a good week filled with only the best stuff!
I am so anxious to visit you all and see what wonderful things you have been creating at your home....

That is really good, I can't believe it's watercolor, so vibrant!
ReplyDeleteYou have captured the glamour Tina and clearly Ann Sheridan.
ReplyDeleteHello Tina!!! Somehow I have totally missed your blog--I'm so sorry!! I always, always enjoy my visits to your blog, so I feel bad that I've missed your latest posts. You've been really busy, as always I see! :-) I love this piece and the bright colors! The likeness to Ann Sheridan is spot on! I remember her from the movie 'I was a Male War Bride' with Cary Grant. Movies like that and the ads really were the best, weren't they?
ReplyDeleteI hope you're doing well!! Take care!!
I do not think there is any media that you can't master. Nice work.
