Monday Artday: Dostojevski

Dostojevski

A watercolour excercise from the Russian tv-adaptation of Dostojevski's Idiot. I'm fairly happy with how it turned out and I managed not to overdo it. Old dresses and suits with their folds and cuts are wonderful to paint!

How It Works

Weekly Challenge - Every Monday a new challenge will be posted. That challenge ends two weeks after it begins. In other words, you have two weeks to complete each challenge - a new challenge each week and each challenge lasts 2 weeks so there are always 2 overlapping challenges. A "winner" will be chosen for the challenge of two weeks previous and posted. The winner and the new challenge will be posted by the host each Monday (hopefully).

If you win the weekly contest then you cannot win again for 4 weeks... that way everyone else has a chance.
