Sunday Sketches.

I am much happier for Sunday Sketches this week. I am afraid that the week has been so busy that I am using a watercolour sketch I did last year.Soon we will break up for the holidays & I can set to work on doing some new, fresh work.

For more Sunday Sketches please visit Sunday Sketches at Sophia's Blue Chair Diary.

More ballet sketches - progression from pupil to professional...

I have worked hard today to draw this sketch - showing the progression from pupil to professional. I like the first three drawings, but not the last one. I am now officially obsessed with this and just want my pictures to look how I want them to look....


I am going to have to have a break tomorrow and will do some boys over the weekend. That will be a challenge!So, I hope you like this one - do let me know, I would be interested in your opinion, good or bad.


Again, its probably best if you click on it to get the best image....

Ballet sketches....don't laugh...

I am a follower and avid reader of Elise's blog the Royal Ballet and I mentioned some time ago that I used to enjoy sketching ballet dancers. I just love the way their bodies move and verge on obsession with pointe shoes!! She , very flatteringly, asked me to do some sketches for her blog. Well, its a long time since I sketched anything, but I decided to give it a go.


I spent this afternoon hidden away with my pencil and water colour pad trying to do some drawings of dancers. These are my first efforts. Some I like, others I am not so keen on.But, what I have discovered is that I enjoy drawing and am going to continue so that I get better.


I hope you like them and I would recommend a visit to Elise - her blog is fascinating.

Please click on them to ge a better look as they are a bit on the pale side.




Having looked at them on the blog.... they are very faint. I will have to have a go with pen and ink I think, Elise, but I will try again. I feel a bit embarrassed putting them on here... please don't worry if you don't like them!
