This couture season was one of the best I’ve seen in awhile… and totally right up my alley! The embellishments and details were so gorgeous from Chanel to Valentino to Elie Saab, it was so hard to narrow down what to sketch! And that’s the best problem to have =)

Met Gala Red Carpet Recap…
Happy Sunday lovelies!! I wanted to share with you a recap of my Met Gala red carpet sketches that I did as the stars arrived on the red carpet. It’s such a fun night to sketch in real time on Insta Stories (@JoannaBaker) and Snapchat (@JoannaLBaker) and share the process with you!

I wasn’t as inspired to draw any of those looks yet though… I think I’m still too much in a summer state of mind! =) A golden goddess from the Elie Saab show:
We had planned a visit to the country to see my family this past weekend but I knew I couldn’t leave my art supplies in New York. So I packed up everything and kept sketching on the go! Three sparkly looks from Zuhair Murad:
So many sparkles and so much tulle… it’s time for me to come back to reality but I just can’t get over these photos! Someday maybe Giambattista will be my everyday 😉 Have a fabulous week!
