Studio Time

Studio Time 6 x 6 inches.

Dancers are so beautiful to paint for sure. But the underlying reason to paint this scene that got me excited was the light and shadow relationship. I LOVE the way polished floors have these beautiful reflections of both light and shadow.

Tip for artists: I discovered at a workshop that I took the value of 'value studies'. By making a postage stamp size sketch using grey and black markers I found it added clarity to the subject by simplifying the shapes. It also make me 'see' the masses in a more obvious way.
