Description
Master Copy of a painting by Degas.Done in Prismacolor Nupastels
(His Painting - [link] )
It was a 'scavenger hunt' project.
We had to incorporate a
Musical Instrument
Note
cat
Key
and shoes
There is already shoes and a piano in the picture.
And the teacher said we could do a play on words if we like.
So the girl on the piano is holding a hanKEY
The girl next to her is holding a CATalog
The dance instructor has a love NOTE
^_~
I just thought the love note would be funny since he looks so crotchety.
I wish I coulda made certain areas darker, but there really is only so much you can do with those pastels
And we weren't supposed to use black unless we absolutely had to.

Very nice job, it's got a real nice warmth too it. Degas has a thing with ballet girls. This really matches up with "Ballet Dancers." The color choices are lovely.
The proportions on the man are the only thing that seem strange to me. The girls in the fore are my favorite

Heh well I guess when you find your niche you stick with it.
I think his proportions could be off... I don't draw many people together in a picture xD
I had trouble making the atmosphere recede, because there aren't really dull colored pastels believe it or not >> They are all bright and light mostly... or at least all the ones I have.

Yeah actually I tried to make a pastel painting, but of course I chose more human... so the bright colors didn't work at all for my painting. They work for Cam, has she shown you her tiger painting? tis really pretty.

NuPastels really don't give you much choice, it's either colorful or muddy.
Have you used them before?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not that brand, but yeah. It's fun-art. ^_^

They are very nice, but they don't blend well. Which is rather what I DO like about oil pastels. Degas had a special system that he used to make his pastels blend better I heard >> Wish I knew what it was.
