This piece is placed in a diner made to look like from this time era. I combined multiple pictures to come up with this composition, and I think it was worth it. It was difficult to get the right angle and perspective but I think it worked really well. If I could change it I would push the seat on the left back a little, but because of the picture, that’s the way I saw it and drew it. I kept changing parts of this painting as I went because as I work on these projects I realize its better to have something down on canvas instead of trying to perfect just the outline. I can always change it which I think makes me work faster or atleast have more pieces that I’m working on. The face was hard for me to get because it's so small, and I'm not used to a size like that. Taking my time and using a small but structured brush really helped. I wanted her lips to pop and match the skirt. The woman was wearing pants but I changed it to a skirt so I could make it red a polka dots. Skirts were more popular in this era, and I think it fit better. I think it works with the yellow, and red lips were super popular back then. I wish I could’ve come up with a better teal color in the first place so I wouldn’t have to keep going over it. At this point I just need to fix the seats and do the background. I love how the patterns stand out on their own but also work together. I put the white on the seats so when I paint the teal on top it'll stand out and be highlighted. I might have to go back and put more white so its wet and so it'll blend with the teal. I need to keep going darker with the teal for shadows underneath the seats but the base color is just right.
