About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a loose, sleeveless turquoise dress with a high slit up one side. Her hair is pulled back neatly, and she’s wearing simple black heels. The dress drapes softly, with one side flowing behind her as she walks. The color turquoise stands out—it’s bright but not flashy, like a quiet gem. The drawing is loose and quick, with watercolor washes for the dress. Next, check out Carven to see more of their fashion sketches.
