Comment from Renate-Bertodi


absolutely gorgeous, her lifelike arms are alive and moving in the picture and just a hint of the precocious lady she could be given a chance, underneath. Is it black paper?

    I bought a whole load of various pastels, but the whole load were stolen, though I have barely managed to use them, along with all new artists materials. All my life I have managed with cheap kiddy paints from the markets- at long last I treated myself...to have it all robbed.

The expression is complex- Is she is seriously concentrating on her dancing or is she somewhat annoyed by the interruption? I think it might be the latter. Either way, the image pulls in the viewer and holds them. Very compelling with good story telling capacity.

A beautiful drawing that captures the grace and elegance of the dancer very well. I can't figure out why you would not include her fingers at the top though.

Comment from nikman


A very good and dramatic image posted here! Your fine and classical composition presents us with a very enjoyable pose. Somehow her neck looks rather thin compared to her arms and shoulders? Nicely drawn otherwise!

Comment from cleo85


This is an extraordinary painting. Her expression and her classical pose are impressive. The textures of her costume and crown are interesting. The costume looks as if it is knitted. I am impressed by your attention to detail. The performing ballerina reminds me of Odile In Swan Lake. The spot light is excellent painted. The light emphasizes the ballerina remarkably. Proportions and perspective are flawless. The neutral background is adequate. The painting is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.
