dancer painting

[rooftopscandal.livejournal.com]

I had a rare day off today & made this painting. It's watercolor & pencil on paper with a little charcoal.




I started out with the gesture drawing on the left in charcoal pencil & moved to the more technical one on the right . . .

My work-space was a little different than most of my paintings because of the fractal-things on the sides. I used a ton of address labels & cut them with an x-acto knife to get the straight lines. (coffee a must)

(I also used a little table-salt for texture)
