Jay and Bill, I already had most of the dark background on the old painting and acrylic dries fast especially on paper!

When I said 'done this morning' I meant "finished'" I did the background the day before.

I have posted the acrylic on another group I am with (Art Tutor) and it is getting very good responses. I have given you Nolan the credit as my Tutor.

All ballerinas look great. Mary Lou, Bill, Liz congratulations. :clap: :clap: :clap:
I finished the background. I use 35X45 cm canvas with oil paint. I will have to wait a long time for it to dry. While I was waiting, I started the portrait course. :painting: :dance:

My ballerina is Casta Diva. I named my favorite aria. But I need your opinion. Are leg length and feet size proportional? Do you have any suggestions for me?

This is my ballerina,and i did her a little different
Post by: Aniz Oniro on November 21, 2021, 10:27:32 PM
From this lessons i lernt that sometimes is better to use only acrylics if you want to have better effect or do it in oils but wait till the paint will dry.
I wanted to paint wet on wet but it was disaster so i had to remove some paint ,add the ballerina and again cover the background
Post by: nolan on November 22, 2021, 07:49:19 PM
I think the dress came out beautifully, nice colours.
I would just work on the face where the chin and the neck meet. Lighten this area up more and then widen the neck slightly towards the left hand side O0
