Comment from Bec's art


This once again is nice, even if experimental. The muted tones work particularly well with the subject. There is just enough detail. The light around the dress is fundamental in creating this lovely painting. Very nice job. Thank you.

This image is so realistic and human it is uncanny. The line quality and brush strokes are perfection. The use of light is inspired. You did a great job with texture as well.

Comment from rscsjessamine


Well painted study of a dancer in a subtle colour scheme with nice handling of the hands and feet positions which keep the figure well balanced on the canvas.The dark background gives a sense of backstage waiting in the wings to perform.Excellent painting style.

Comment from anniepage


I really like this one. It is dark on ark with her arms and legs the focal, very good.

Love the way you did the background with just the right amount of light behind her.

Very well accomplished.

I like the monochromatic rendering. The figure is in its natural pose and the application of paint is smooth and without any fuss. well done with another portrait.

Another beautiful ballerina. Like the hint of sepia here. Nice lighting, lines and tootoo. Lovely pose of her stretching before a show. 'Enjoyed and wished I had more stars.
