My response.....

For this I just took a fashion sketch and added colour to certain areas to give them impact. I used a variety of brushes to give the impression in was hand rendered. Verhoeven's work looks more modern but I still think I have the basic idea.


This is just a quick practice of her technique!

When I look at her work the first thing I see is the intricate details and light application of paint. She uses these smooth lines to frame her figures who are always ‘model like’ and demure. The elegance of the work is very effeminate and delicate. Sometimes she will use small areas of colour to accentuate an area and at other times have highly detailed collaged areas to compliment the faint figures. Her palette is usually complimentary as she doesn’t use clashing colours to jolt the viewer. Washes or oils are used to give the impression the work was down quickly, as if in a sketchbook.
