Art Of Ballet is quite an interesting painting for me. Unlike most of my other figurative paintings, it does not have a defined outline. Several other ballerina artworks which I have created have used varying brush strokes and techniques to convey movement or poise, however this ballerina painting is much looser than most (but not all) of those.
Underneath this painting, exists another ballerina which was painted in a completely different style and using a much more water-based paint technique. Much of this painting is left to show through in the final painting.
There is also something about the compositiona nd the way that the figure of the ballerina fills the canvas that appeals to me aand which I would like to emulate in future canvases.
