Dominant colour
'Bonita' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a bright yellow dress with sharp lines and pockets. Her arms are outstretched, and the fabric looks slightly wrinkled. The background is plain, keeping all focus on her pose and the outfit. The artist used quick, confident strokes to show the folds and shape of the dress. The name *Bonita* is signed in the corner. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
Marie-Louise Carven (31 August 1909 – 8 June 2015), born Carmen de Tommaso, was a French fashion designer who founded the house of Carven in 1945.
