Dominant colour
'Soleil de minuit' is a 1949 by Marie-Louise Carven, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This drawing shows a woman in a long, sleek dress with bold black and lime-green stripes. The dress flares out at the bottom, and she’s wearing simple black heels. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands sideways, one hand resting on her hip. The title, *Soleil de minuit*, is written in the corner—it means "midnight sun." The artist used clean, sharp lines to keep the drawing simple and stylish. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shading with lines.
