Mariette's Regency Drawings

[Mariette]

Hello,
I thought I'd post some(so far only two! lol) of my regency inspired drawings and paintings.

All I have for you today is a painting I did last month:

And a sketch I did last night (I realize the proportional troubles these ladies seem to have but I'll do better next time ):

Those are wonderful! MORE! Are there more?

We must be of the same mind, because I just today, I drew an image of three ladies at the ball, two on a very similar loveseat, gossiping. I'll have to scan it after it's coloured so you can see; it's almost bizarre how similar they are. ::hee::

I love the hair on the top image. She's very pretty.

Some of my Regency drawings can be found here:

herodyssey.deviantart.com/art/Demoiselles-83601414 (their faces are too squooshed and tilty, but it was one of my 'lunchtime specials' like most of these others, where I drew them on copy paper at my desk with office supplies. ::hee::

Lovely! Actually looking at your art was what inspired me to do my drawing last night!
The seat those girls are sitting on was inspired by Emily Gilmore's sitting room couch from Gilmore Girls (a guilty pleasure of mine). lol
Btw, I have a deviantart as well. I'm now "watching" you

Mariette and Steph, both your paintings are really pretty.

[lauren]

Both of your paintings are lovely :-)

There is so much talent on this list, of all sorts. It's amazing!

I have always wanted to make a gown with those sleeves though, she needs a petticoat I didnt know how to draw the little sqigglys on her dress.

A group of ladies before a ball, I think I was writing something at the time and used this as inspiration for the chapter. I think I like the third one over best - she looks happy.

Thanks! Yours are great too!

[nonsuch]
