Clothes and Shoes, Lynn Cohen

This is from a photo of my uncle and aunt on their wedding day in 1945 or 6. Uncle Harry is wearing his army uniform. Her dress looked very pretty and floral. It doesn't really look much like either of them, except for his red hair! Sweet memories of a couple, who have departed this earth, Mimi in 2013 and Harry last week at ages 95 and 96.5 respectfully. They are greatly missed. (I did this first for Every Day in August: Prompt, "Beloved Elders")

I posted another guy in more casual dress in the post right before this one.

Clothes & Shoes, Lynn Cohen

My kind of outfit. I am most comfortable in jeans and a T shirt and obviously so was this guy who I drew this morning at Starbucks. He sat directly across from me face to face, but seemed unaware that I was drawing him. My art supplies were out hiding behind a bag of more of them. Pen, colored pencils and water brush. I spent a lot of time over this; coloring most of it after he was gone. He was wearing white tennis shoes, but I only saw them when he got up to walk out. They were hidden by my table.

More Clothes on More People, Lynn Cohen

I really have fun drawing the clothing on my People! I liked using two colored pencils for the purple sweater/and chair (red and blue); and checkered shirts are always a slow challenge in patience; check out that guys blue visor, and the gal's two toned green sweatshirt. There's always a fashion show at Starbucks!
