The corset

I was approached to do a promotion for a lingerie shop in Richmond (Melbourne), called Passionfruit. They wanted a model painted into some lingerie, in the shop window.

Dagna volunteered to be the model for the project - and we got the basic design mapped out at the studio - and then moved to the shop window to complete the painting. (I can now advise that painting in a shop window is definitely a cramped operation.)

Since the promotion was tied to the annual Australian Tango Festival, as the painting neared completion we had a contingent of tango addicts doing some dancing on the footpath outside the shop as well.

Passers by were somewhat startled when what appeared to be a static mannequin in the model suddenly waved to them.




Thanks to ..

Dagna is always a total pleasure to work with and gives her all to any project. She has a web page - just click here.
