Plein air painting tips from a practising painter.
The dress on display
A long dress stands in the window, waiting for its first fitting. Hem says it is one line away from perfect.
The tall mirror
A round mirror leans against the shop wall so every outfit gets a second look before it goes out the door.
The upright needle
The needle stands straight up with a loose thread trailing from it. Hem says a good tailor never misses a stitch.
The window mirror
An oval mirror sits in the shop window, catching the light for every passer-by.
