Ballet Drawings and Watercolors

These are some of my small paintings and sketches that I've been doing lately. I've been interested in ballet dancers and their various postures, both with their dancing and resting. I've collected photographic images to work from since my access to drawing dancers is not available. I look for poses that can suggest beauty, physical and emotional strength, a spiritual light, and poise. These pieces are roughly 5 x 8 inches, except for the first one which is a tiny 2 inches high. I used graphite, watercolor and fountain pen inks.
