Louise Ebel, the Art-Inspired Blogger

 

I have posted before about Louise Ebel, the French fashion blogger behind Miss Pandora, whose stunning and theatrical looking fashion shoots are always inspired by art from the past. Usually it’s a series of paintings from a certain era or stylistic period that’ll strike her fancy and she shares those works in posts along with shots of the resulting outfits. Therefore, I thought it only fitting to create a painting of the blogger herself for My Style Canvas. (My previous illustration was a pencil sketch with digital pops of color.)

I pretty much tell myself I have to paint that! every time she posts something new, and her most recent post, in which she wore the black dress and floral headpiece pictured here) was no exception.

Please read on for more an image detail and some pics from Louise’s blog that inspired this post.

      Hi Rhonda. No no permission–I figured giving credit to the site with a link would be enough.
