Male Dancer in Motion

Male Dancer


While I was experimenting with the background color for this striking male dancer in pose... I decided to try a light grey. As with the Male Dancer post of February 25th the same watercolor technique was also used here. I had to use a roller to make sure there were no visible brush stoke marks visible on the paper.

The pose of the dancer showing all of his exceptional muscle tone is still brilliantly evident on the lighter grey background. I do believe that on the darker grey background the beautiful muscle tones are more evident.

I hope that you enjoy this black and white watercolor and ink painting  as much as I do.

I use 100% cotton paper that is manufactured in Spain - Garzapapel  of Garza Papel, S. L. Spain CE and is very difficult to attain.
