Dominant colour
Gina is a 1964 by Marie-Louise Carven, depicting Felt, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a bright turquoise swimsuit with red floral prints. She’s standing with one arm bent behind her head, wearing big red sunglasses and white hair. The lines are loose and quick, giving her a playful, confident pose. The artist signed it “Gina” in the top right corner. The small sketch in the corner shows a woman sitting—maybe a quick study for the pose. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading 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.
