Man Dancing
With this watercolor painting of a male dancer I experimented. I wanted to see how I would be able to paint the background a dark color before I start with the actual male dancer. I wanted to see how the lighting on the paper would change when working with a dark grey background. The background is painted with about 4 layers of watercolor black - yet look at how it is still not opaque and how the light still comes thru.
This was quite a challenge - to paint such a large area and not leave brush stroke watermarks. Using the brush just did not work. I decided to use the roller (yes roller with watercolors - acquarelle) and that worked perfectly.
The pose of the dancer showing all of his exceptional muscle tone is brilliantly 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.
