A lovely piece of work, Dixie. A very accurately drawn figure in a difficult pose.

Lovely, Paul. Beautiful and delicate. I love those colours.

Fabulous - I really like the delicacy of brushwork and the blending/washes are lovely.

Very delicate Dixie and a good sense of movement.

Thank you Lew, Marjorie, Heather and Tessa for your kind comments they are a much appreciated. A bit different for me however it was great fun doing it.

Beautiful Paul, so delicate, I think you have captured the feel of the chalk in mid flow.

Just commented on the forum about this Paul, I love the way you have painted it, so delicate and a great drawing. ,👍🤗

Very good colours and pose. Not easy I think.

So beautifully understated Paul, which gives it great impact.

Really beautifully done Paul, so delicate

This is stunning, Paul. Really difficult pose, well 'caught' in the act!

Beautifully painted, Paul, and so delicate.

Beautiful soft colours, the posture of the model is really graceful.

It's a very good piece Paul.

Thank you all for your kind comments.

lovely appraisal of gesture and delicacy of treatment—a very fine watercolour.

Thank you Alan for you kind comment.

Slightly bigger than a4 watercolour paper. I did a sketch from a still photo taken from utube .
