Cocktail party gossip
Based on the cool style of California artist Shag, I created an image of two beautiful people engaged in cocktail party gossip. This simple image uses a stone background pattern, a line pattern in the man's jacket, and a simple circle pattern in the woman's dress.
Shag's paintings often show somewhat sinister elements in them. In my piece I show the man so absorbed in his monologue that he unconsciously flicks his cigarette into the woman's martini glass. The woman, too absorbed to notice, is wearing horns. Is it a costume party? We don't know!
In outline mode you can see how I drew the elements. I actually deleted the background stone pattern in it because it would be too confusing to see the main image otherwise. The version to the right shows it in full color, along with the color palette below. As an afterthought I introduced the blue color, which I feel gives some needed relief from the simple color palette.
