“There ain’t nothing from the outside can lick any of us.”
– Margaret Mitchell
Masters Study – Edgar Degas, a crop from Dancers Resting
2.5″ x 3.5″ Van Gogh H2Oils on 140# Watercolor paper
Here’s a link to the original
Degas painting. If you haven’t tried them, Van Gogh H2Oils are water soluble oil paints. They are fun to play with. I remember spending a lot of time on that white dress. There are a lot of colors in it, along with texture and shadow. Fun!!
About Margaret Mitchell
Margaret Mitchell wrote just one book, the immensely successful Civil War novel, Gone With the Wind, which she wrote while convalescing with a broken ankle, basing it on tales her relatives had told her. She then put the book away until a publisher asked if she had ever written a novel. After giving him the manuscript, she got cold feet and asked for it back, but he’d already begun reading. The book still sells more than 200,000 copies a year. She was born in Atlanta in 1900 and died in 1949.
