"I Wanna Learn To Dance" Watercolor by Kathy Michels

Today I finished my watercolor portrait of this adorable little girl. She was just such a joy to do. She just wants to learn to dance so much.

Lovely, Kathy!.. Also... face is looking familiar! Was the same girl on your big painting you had on DPP show, or they just some-what look alike?

Kathy Michels said...

Thank you for the great responses. Oh Tatiana, you are right. This little girl is the same one you see in the big painting from the DPP Capitol show. I took a ton of photos of those little ballerinas. I just loved the expression on her little face and knew I had to paint her. Plus her skin tone is just such a gorgeous color. Such fun - I can't wait to paint more of these little ones.

The intense facial expression on this little girl is wonderful, Kathy - just what she needs to become a successful dancer.
