Kathy in Costume

My only creditable sketch from the WICA costume loft turned out to be a portrait of Kathy. Unfortunately the sketch did not showcase the entire purple genie costume she was sporting. It was SO Kathy. I'm so sick of making muddy overworked messes that I was determined to use a light touch and leave part of the sketch uncolored. But when Kathy asked to use it for her FB profile pic, I thought maybe I should finish coloring it. Anyway, here are both versions. Take your pick, Kathy.

Thanks once again to Judith Van Arnam and Whidbey Island Center for the Arts for giving us access to the costume loft. It was a wonderland of fun and fancy and fabric.  I hope we can go back again next month.

  2. fun to see it both ways, thanks for showing the process. It is so much more "Kathy" to be in full color!

  5. Woo Hoo! Thanks for my new facebook pic Sue. I SO love it. Wish I could use it for my driver's license too. I chose the colored version because my hair is brown now. I'll reserve the non--colored version for when my hair is red, purple or whatever and color to match. Thanks again, you are a fabulous portrait artist.
