Weekly Oil Paintings

Dame de Jeunes Danseurs (Stage 2)

16×20″ oil on canvas panel

In stage 2, you can see that I worked on more careful rendering of proportion and gesture; there is more to do on the feet. But I concentrated on the black leotards that will create a dark, interesting pattern to support the heads and the arms of the young ladies. Sadly, I really do not know French, but “Young Lady Dancers” sounds so much better in this lyrical language.
