A very successful painting full of life, beauty and expression. You have achieved great fluidity between the figure and her clothing Steven.

A stunning piece that captures the movement and energy of the dance. The composition too is excellent.

Watercolour of Gypsy dancer...Took two attempts and many days to get this one painted. I wanted the hair to match the fall of her drape but appear to be full bodied and flowing. The patterns in the clothing were a particular challenge and in my second attempt I used masking to preserve the lights.
