Ahhh...something a little bit different...an ice skater! I am still looking forward to trying the water soluble graphite pencils that I mentioned in our last time together! I did however try the watercolor pencil and as you can see in the ballerina sketch above it did indeed produce a deep rich shadow color.

Speaking of color...I am always impressed with the work of artist Juliette Crane. I love the way she makes use of everything in one painting (see photo)!
Below is a quote by the artist Helen Gorrill. This is a very interesting concept that I have explored over the years but not to the extent mentioned here.

Color me Degas: I would love to create some mighty and beautifully colored ballerina paintings using as they say 'everything but the kitchen sink'. At this point I have no idea how - but this is certainly an adventure I am looking forward to.

Lovely ice skaters!
Hi Myra :) I love Helen's idea, I think it's going to be fun to explore that! And your ice skater really spoke to me! I see such movement in that drawing, lovely!
Always wonderful to see your dancers, I love the depth created using the watercolour pencil, I hope you find the same with the soluble graphite pencils too. Juliette Crane is a magnificent artist, I am always in awe of her work with colour. Thank for sharing & Happy PPF Tracey
Hi Myra these are just beautiful. You have a great way with body shape and movement. Be sure to let us know how you like or don't like the water soluble graphite.
Wonderful bodies in motion.
