Inspired by Project Runway, Season 11, Episode 9, Patricia Michaels design

The episode in which this outfit was created was the Lord and Taylor Challenge.  The winning designer's outfit would be sold at Lord and Taylor department stores.  The price point was to be $250, which means the garment should be produced for much less than that.  Although it was a team challenge, designer Patricia Michaels took a lot of risks with her two-piece outfit. A lot of people thought that two pieces, particularly with shiny pants, at just $250 seems to be a bit of a stretch for the Lord and Taylor buyer.

I actually really like the outfit, especially since it has four different oranges! That worked well for my painting. I just had to add the light pop as the oranges were just too similar in value. As you can see, there is a lot of paint on this one!

Inspired by Project Runway All-Stars, Episode 7, Dom Streater design
Picture
On this Project Runway All-Stars Episode the challenge was to create high-end evening resort wear using fabric originally chosen by another designer. Dom Streater made her own textile using the rainbow of linen fabrics pulled by Valerie. The resulting striped skirt playfully evoked a beach towel, a bit of whimsy that charmed the other panelists. I really love this dress!

My painting ended up being VERY abstract but I love the modern and loose feel. What do you think of the end result?

All Tied Up

Inspired by Project Runway, Season 12, Episode 4, Miranda Kay Levy design
Picture
This Project Runway outfit was created on the episode in which the designers were inspired by bow ties from Tie the Knot, an organization benefitting marriage equality. I figured, if they can design a dress from a bow tie then of course I can paint a painting from one of the dresses!

Designer Miranda Kay Levy landed in the bottom of the group with this design but she was safe. Sando quit the competition and was the only one who went home.

I decided to try something different as I used collage paper to create the black and white hounds tooth pattern in the bottom tow-thirds of my painting. It looks a lot like the dress!

I painted this painting for my August online class so if you would to learn how to create this, head on over to my online classes page. Click the "enroll" tab to find all of the classes.
