Painting a Wedding Jean Jacket

Painting a wedding jean jacket.

I purchased this used jean jacket from a thrift store.

I knew that I wanted to paint it in some way.

At the time, I was painting a lot of couples, and wedding scenes.

With that, I decided to paint a bride and groom.

Painting a Wedding Jean Jacket - The Wedding Dress is Hand Sewn

I started by drawing an outline of the bride and groom.

I decided to sew the wedding dress onto the bride.

I went to purchase white fabric at a craft store.

I cut small pieces of fabric and aligned the pieces with the woman's body.

I sewed each piece on the jacket by hand because I don't know how to use a sewing machine.

Needless to say, it was very time consuming, but I did enjoy the process.

This jacket is truly one of a kind.

It is hand painted, and hand sewn.

There would be no worries of running into someone else wearing the same design.

In fact, I created this image from my own imagination.

My drawings have changed since the time that I drew the image on this jacket.

I have now discovered that my drawings look more life like if I am looking at an actual photo while drawing.

I am not able to draw an exact replica of what I am looking at, but I still get a very good image.

This has been life changing for me.

I am very drawn to brides when it comes to drawing, and painting.

I especially love to capture the folds, bends, and ruffles in the dress.

These details are very important, and help to create a beautiful design.

I also enjoy re-creating the hairstyle of the bride, or creating a hairstyle of my own.

Honestly, I like drawing, and painting the jewelry, headdress, and bouquet, along with the wedding gown, and hair.

Each feature plays its own special part.

I guess I like creating all things girly.
