Obsessed with this neon green paillettes Prada dress!  Looks just like my favorite neon chartreuse earrings I got in Florence, Italy a few years ago … only much, much better!  It’s pure perfection, love the fringe effect, and Sarah Paulson looks so edgy and confident in it, amazing!  The minute I saw @mssarahcatharinepaulson wearing it in InStyle Magazine I knew I had to paint her.  So here she is, as a 36x48 fashion illustration for my new IGTV video.
 
Watch the video on my Instagram @thecristinatudor and then tell me in the comments: would you wear this dress?  You already know how I feel about it – I’d wear it in a heartbeat! <3
 
Thanks for watching!

Hi guys,

It’s that time again!  I just uploaded a brand new IGTV video on Instagram - you can watch it at @thecristinatudor  (click on the little TV set icon below my bio) Watch me live-paint this 36x48 fashion illustration of actress Michelle Mitchenor modeling Arya, a stunning Matthew Christopher wedding gown. 

I was inspired to paint Michelle in this gown by my upcoming collaboration with Matthew Christopher: this coming weekend, , Sept. 15 & 16, 2018, I will be painting custom live fashion illustrations of brides who say 'Yes' the the dress at the Matthew Christopher trunk show at Panache Bridal in Pasadena.  Check back in with me here and on my Instagram account @thecristinatudor this week to find out more about this exciting partnership and to watch behind-the-scenes of my live painting at the trunk show over the weekend.
 
Are you getting married soon?  Call Panache Bridal in Pasadena and make an appointment for this weekend's trunk show.  Meet the designer in person, try on dreamy dresses, and receive a complimentary 11x14 custom fashion illustration when you find your perfect Matthew wedding dress! #marriedinmatthew

In the meantime, check out the IGTV video, and then tell me in the comments who you'd like to see me paint next.  Follow along @thecristinatudor on Instagram to see who I paint for my next video. 

Thanks for watching!

Hi guys,

I remember always feeling so excited at the start of a new school year, back in the day, when summer break lasted all the way until September: new school supplies, new outfits, the smell of brand new, unopened notebooks and freshly sharpened pencils ... And all the possibilities that a fresh new beginning would bring!  My FREE CALENDAR for September, Nerdy Girl, was inspired by those memories for your September calendar.

Are you ready for the start of fall?  Are your kids going back to school?  Or perhaps you're starting a fresh new school year this September?

I hope you bring Nerdy Girl along with you to whatever new adventures this September brings you.  Take pics of her in the space where she inspires you daily and share them with me on Instagram: use the hashtag #ctudorcalendar and tag me @thecristinatudor so I can see them!  It would make my day, and I would love to feature your pics of the calendar on my Instagram! :))

Didn't get my Nerdy Girl?  Subscribe on my blog page at cristinatudor.com, add your name and email, and check the 'Email' box in the subscription settings, and she's on her way to you.  It's super easy!  And share my website with your friend and family so they can get my free calendar every month, too!

Enjoy the calendar!
