Every Day in May - 16
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a new fashion exhibit called the American Woman. It was crowded, and I sketched two garments quickly and then painted them at home - mostly from memory. The whitish stripe down the center of the page is from Photoshop removal of the gutter between the two pages.
Comments
It's never easy to sketch/draw from memory. Somehow I would turn them into cartoon if I draw anything from memory. =) Thanks for your comment Shirley on the St. John's Cathedral's drawing. Frankly I am not very happy with the drawing either, maybe because it reminds me too much of technical drawing. I prefer to draw something fun and with a lot more freedom

Nice garment drawing! And I really like your stamps with the pregnant woman down below as well. Just lovely! How do you do the stamps?

I am so envious of you, that you get to go to the Met and sketch, not to mention to see the great exibits. I think I have to live in New York att some point in my life. :)
Great sketches!
