Milton Costa

As mentioned previously, I sat down to create sketches in order to get my family's approval, or "blessing" (in a non religious way).

In the initial sketch I looked at using pearls to create a uniform detail that could be used as buttons and all "borders", but it was too disruptive in reference to how the painting itself looks, so I have replaced this with using a thin stripe of black velvet. The fabric that I decided goes best to truly describe the texture and vibrancy of a canvas painting is raw silk.
