Daily Paintworks gave us a "paint your shoes" challenge recently. These are my favorite shoes for style and comfort. I live in flip flops, so I don't wear these very often, but still they're my favorite shoes. I thought about leaving out all the gold stitching to simplify the painting, but the stitching is part of the style, so I decided to paint it in a simplified way. The color palette was enjoyably limited: burnt umber, ultramarine blue, yellow ochre, cad yellow medium and Twhite.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Stretch your imagination a bit, and my shoes could be 21st century pilgrim shoes: black leather with buckles.
They do look comfy! I like how you simplified this. I really like how you depicted the shine on the black shoes, ranging from grays to dark. Well done!
ReplyDeleteOh what comfortable looking shoes.Love them.
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Who would think a pair of shoes can be so interesting! I love the highlights and the stitching. Nice work Karen!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on making a nice painting of shoes! Also like your Persimmon and it's flowing looseness and color.
ReplyDeleteGreat paintwork Karen, your shoes really look comfortable and lived in...
