This has a lovely elegance to it. The pose of the subject and the way you applied a softness to her clothing and skin contribute to the elegant impression. I really enjoy the highlights and shading of her body and how realistic it makes her skin tones.

Hi James. You definitely have a way of capturing ballerinas. You always add the right delicate touches for these light footed dancers. They are always graceful and have lovely poses. Great Job My Friend! :o) Nancy

A lovely view with your signature technique.
An exquisite ballerina with her flowing costume.
This is a dark rendering maybe she is performing in a dark story line.
Or perhaps she has found a chair in a remote area to quickly lace her ballet slippers.
Well done!

I love the way you experiment with the background colours and textures. They add to the beauty of the female figures you paint. This is once such. Thanks for sharing!

James,
A beautiful Pastel picture of a Ballerina seated as she ties on one of her Ballet pumps the second one lying beside her waiting to be put on. Created with Very skilful draftsmanship, knowledge of human anatomy, beautiful choice blending & application of your colours in bring this scene to life.

A well thought out creation given more time and meticulous rendition of fine features, textures & soft strokes.
Gorgeous lighting!

Beautiful ballerina in a beautiful pose as she puts on her slippers, I love the silvery white costume and slippers, she even looks so graceful as she ties her slippers. Beautiful background and awesome show of the lighting ! This is very well rendered and a pleasure to view!
