Description
My first version of Renoir's Bouquet Dans Une Loge. A friend of mine loves Renoir's painting, but I have a very hard time with impressionism. So I am practicing. This is my first attempt at a velvet couch, and also a first attempt at a bouquet of roses all while trying to make it impressionistic. Not sure if I achieved it, but I am happy with it. I will be doing this setting again.
PS: I found out after I started it that Bouquet Dans Une Loge probably translates to Bouquet in a box. (or box seat). I guess like someone is waiting to give the bouquet after the performance. I made mine a livingroom. LOL
Chalk pastel.
PS: I have a couple of blogs on this project.

The colors and composition work beautifully here, Catherine, impressionistic or not! You achieved some nice textures. This caught my eye right away! Thank you so much for your kind comments about my artwork. Like
