AMEDEO MODIGLIANI :LADY WITH A FAN .
(SELF OWNED REPLICA)

I bought this painting from a Venetian artist in Italy 15 years ago. I loved the cols and the drawing trying to copy Modigliani’s original painting.

original painting

Having the chance to analyze the drawing and the colours used, I came with yarn wrappings which I’ve wrapped them on a cone , in a way that colours blend and merge one to the other.

I’ve managed to find marl pre-twisted colours in order to be able to present the black/scarlet background and the white/light blue sleeves.
I’ve also managed to find a soft woolly brown yarn in order to be able to demonstrate lady’s hair.
