Ballet in Watercolor…try



Well, it seems that I can’t get enough dance/ballet sketches.  Wonder what this says about my life?  If you can’t do it…..draw it?  Haha


My goal….is to stay in the liquid watercolor medium as long as possible.

Usually by this time, I would’ve grabbed my w/c pencils.

Just a cool shot…thought I’d share.

What I’m finding is….that I have to let the watercolor pool the way it likes.  I have to be very patient and not push it around so much….let it dry in a puddle. Then come back and apply more, layer it.

I have to come at these paintings differently…not in the photo-realistic way.  Hopefully I can keep it colorful and fun!

  1. The photo pose looks like torture, I like your version better with a bit of calm to it. Beautiful!

  2. Hi Hanna, I agree the original pic was a little darker more intense....If I can I will always add color :)
