Thread has long adored the artworks by New Zealander Kelly Thompson (www.kellythompson.co.nz)
Her pretty girls, sexy women, nudes and detailed botanical drawings are incredible, and are in magazines, and she does fashion illustration colabs with Escada and many others.
We met her for dinner in Melbourne earlier this year at her husband Christian’s Melbourne restaurant The Town Mouse on Drummond Street in Carlton and you can read all about it here.
So it was such a thrill to get to attend an art class at Artstation in Ponsonby with Maybelline New York for beauty writers to create their own pictures over a Kelly Thompson line drawing, using actual makeup.
Here are our photos of the art class, along with the 13 new products which will be available in-store from July onwards.And no, you don’t have to paint with them; in fact if my artwork was anything to go by, I recommend we stick to using them on our faces!
