Chanel Chic: The Studio Challenges

Over on The Studio Challenges Blog this sketch was set
I loved this sketch and was keen to join in. I chose this picture of the Chanel window at Harrods last Christmas. 
I wanted to use the black and gold colours in the photo but was worried this would be too dark and oppressive. So i decided to use them in small doses with a pop of other colours. I mounted some white card onto an old piece of Echo Park paper and then used scraps from my scrap bag. I drew around a plate a couple of times, moving it slightly each time to replicate the circle on the sketch and added some sequins to this.
