Graceful dancers by an artist with two left feet

I had a request by a lady for cards and prints of some of my watercolour dancers.

I thought I would share them with you. I am particularly fond of the male dancers, which were drawn in pencil using a continuous line technique, before a loose, watercolour wash was added.

I am the least graceful dancer you could ever imagine!!! A sort of deranged elephant after drinking 5 bottles of Prosecco!

Do you ever use the continuous line technique? Watercolour wash? Do you enjoy dance or ballet? Do you sketch dancers?

These images are available as cards or prints. Please use the contact page for sales enquiries.

Exploring Mixed Media Art: Techniques with Acrylics and Decoupage

I have been venturing into mixed media, and have enjoyed using acrylic paints and inks, decoupage and embellishments such as buttons, beads and jewels to create these latest pieces, which are gifts for friends.

Underwater

I don’t do much acrylic work, but was suddenly inspired to get them out and have a dabble. I wanted to paint an underwater scene. So here is a child swimming underwater with her goggles on!
