Very nice. This is very interesting. This reminds me of a painting you would see in a nice restaurant. Or in the lobby of a nice hotel. Good job.

A beautifully executed painting of the ballerina. Effective colouring, creating an old world look. Expertly composed. Very nice art!

Form the thumb nail, this looks so realistic. I think an accuracy of figure drawing (proportion, pose and curve) is very good. I think the color scheme here is very effective; it leads to an image of silver and gold (for some reason). Beautiful painting as usual and thank you for sharing!

Comment from Photography byTrixie


Like the colors concept but have problem with few ares. I think that you do not have a model. If she is bending down tutu would be longer in front/side (her right picture left) than above her butt (white arrows), problem with shoulder due to shading makes it look like there are no bones and its is just shading not the shape or position which can be easily fixed which brings me to the round lump (short arrow) by strap that is not normal body part. The left leg (rectangle) comes out of no where from left of her rt arm when if it is in the current postion where she is tying the laces the knee would actually be bent and hit above her rt elbow where it is not really seen so it would not extend beyond her right arm to the skirt. If her right leg is facing to right where is the back of her knee. This one you re going to have to look at a ballet classic position picture to see how the leg looks when pointing inward. Lastly the rt foot is too big and not shaped correctly. Just remember it is easier to find fault and see errors than to draw this...make someone bend over like this...I think it needs tweaks.

Nicely done with this. It is a nice fresh profile of a balerina that you have not done before and I like it. Very nice detail. Your technique has worked well for this.

Perfect Jesuel. It is such a nice work. You know a lot about body structure. I like the colors, or rather the lack of colors. Well done. You are a great painter

You have painted a very graceful image here. Like the choice of choosing monotone colours it works well with the choice of subject. A great piece of artwork, well done
