Dominant colour
'Galion' is a 1951 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a loose, dark dress with wide shoulders and a flared skirt. Her hair is pulled back under a hat, and she stands with one hand on her hip. The lines are simple and confident, with some shading to show folds in the fabric. The artist used quick, bold strokes to capture the dress’s shape and movement. The sketch looks like it was drawn fast, almost like a fashion sketch. Check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows 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.
