Oil on Canvas
I came across another vintage ballerina photo. I thought I would share the picture to show how I use inspiration photos. There are lots of things I loved about the photo, but there were a few things that needed to change to make for a nice painting. Besides adding tons of color, I decided to change her hair and make the ballerina a little younger to give more of a modern feel. I also placed her closer to the edge of the canvas, made the windows wider and turned her head slightly. These things really helped the composition and gave it more of a story with her gazing out at the city. Ballerinas are fun to paint!
