Making some headway on this portrait of my friend Josette, a talented dancer. After a shoot at my studio, we sifted through hundreds of pictures; I was captivated by this pose, the dramatic lighting, and the poise and grace in this transition between steps. I've used light washes of acrylic to create semi transparent passages for the wood grain to shine through, contrasted to the heaver, more opaque shadows in the front leg and back. It's been a delight to paint on a Sunny Sunday afternoon in the studio while catching up on my podcasts :)
