My Entry for Crypto Art & Design Challenge Round 7: STEEM!
This is my entry for the Crypto art & Design Challenge round 7: Steem.
I entered a quick drawing watercolour yesterday for the #sndbox contest and wasn't happy with it. So, I finished my original idea which was to use John Singer Sargent as my inspiration.
I had sketched out the idea loosely based on his Madame X painting and began working on it. Then I thought I'd not have enough time to make it presentable. But, after looking at the image I shared yesteday, I just wasn't happy with it.
I knew in the Madame X the background was mainly one tone so I knew I could not worry about too much detail. Instead I chose to use a bit of the table that Madame X leans on in the original painting and to place a painterly Steemit Symbol.
As the dress is mainly a study in black with just a hint of skin tone, I decided to also add the logo into her hair. My madame X is of course much more clothed then the original, but I wanted to simply play on his painting as that was the point of the Steemit logo contest in the first place.

OOOooooh I love it, you are one talented lady holy hannah!!!!!
Aw, thanks. :)
Beautiful! And created so quickly as well! You really do amazing work; I feel I learn so much from you:)
Well it was about a week. I just hadn't finished it up and was going to add wallpaper with the logo etc, but I was so not happy with my other piece, that I worked on it and gave it a more simple look. Sometimes, not being happy with another piece is a good motivator to work all day on something :) And it was tiny, it had to be 1000 x 600 so I just made it at 2000 x 1200 then shrunk it.
quite a successful participation dear friend!
I hope you will be selected to sndbox!
Me too and thank you.
I love this one a lot @donnadevisart, despite your saying, and detail in her hair is cherry on top :)
Very good work and like step from your usual art.
Thank you.
It is a very creative and thoughtful piece.
