Flamenco
11×14″
Last night was my demonstration for the Artswest group out in Surrey, BC. I decided to try something new for one of my demos. That was painting a flamenco dancer wet-in-wet. Plus the photo was not the best to work from. I am usually asked to demo a portrait or pouring. But I wanted to challenge myself even more. And what a better time to do that than in front of a large group of accomplished artists. Ha!
All in all, I felt like it went well.
Thank you to Artswest for the opportunity to demonstrate!
Good job, Leslie! I am sorry I missed you yesterday. I was planning on attending, but I had two very [justifiably] upset sisters to deal with last night. I wanted to meet you "in the flesh"!
I think the feel of this is just right. And to do something like this infront of a big audience is is very courageous. Congratulations.
Kathryn, I am sorry that we weren't able to meet yet. I hope your sisters are better. Thank you Prabal. I am glad you like it!
The colours are wonderful, good work. It captures the feel of the dance very well I think.
Lovely Leslie as always..wet in wet is great for mood isn't it.
You've captured movement and the mans appreciation well..

Thank you Gillian and Deborah!
Hi Leslie, I was sorry to miss the demo as well. I do like the way the wet into wet gives you the soft edges that reenforce that sense of movement. Nice work and also a gutzy move to experiment in front of a group!!
Wendy, I am sorry that I missed you. Would have loved to see your demo! Hope it went well.
