Preparing for Class, Maria Kovalenko Leysens


I finished this today for a show at the Butler Art Center. The theme is art and music... so I did dance! I used pastel on Canson paper. The image is cropped to 14x18 inches and will be matted and placed into a 20x24 inch frame. Update- It won second place for pastels.

I like the handling of the white tutu.

What a lovely face. Pure beauty.

The stark background versus the softness of a young ballet dancer is a wonderful contrast, and adds depth to your painting. Beautiful!
