She is some elegant lady in your mixed media piece, Arnaldo. Well done. Some stunning pieces of artwork on your desk - you have certainly been busy. Thanks for already visiting and for your comments. Yes, I've been having fun, too, playing with that new (to me)technique.
God bless.

Laila said…
Oh, what beautiful fashion studies you've made. These were the type of drawings I learned when in school to become a tailor. I have a real crush on the 50's fashion and your first one reminds me of that.
Not sure I can manage a thousand words, but I really appreciate you sharing this post. Thanks.

Laila said…
Oh, and I saw someone call your colorful fashion drawing an abstract, it's really smashing and I believe they didn't notice the human body inside it. LOL.

Superb , very beautiful! Each of these drawings are true masterpieces!
Thank you for explaining to me that the letter W is "doble V" . I should have known that if I had looked in my Spanish dictionary, but I was too lazy. I suppose it is the same in Italian and Portuguese? The W is not a strong letter anyway. But thank you!
