Capturing Ballet: Continuous Line Art and Watercolour Techniques

Published on by The Starry-eyed Mermaid2 Comments

Several years ago I created a series of artworks depicting male & female ballet dancers in motion.

I used a simple sketch, in a continuous line, then added a loose watercolour wash.

Here’s the artwork on my YouTube channel, ‘The Arty Poet on Prozac.

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.
