ballet dancer sketch #7

I feel that focusing on certain subjects to paint, developes my skills and ability to draw,  and discover techniques to suit each subject

A sketch of a ballet dancer # 1

this is the first of a series of watercolour sketches of ballet dancers, I feel it is a good idea to do sets of paintings, as I am focused right now on faces and characters of old men, who I see when I am downtown, and the graceful movements and shapes of the dancers I meet at the theatre

14" by 10" watercolour on arhe rough paper

this is another scene from downtown amman ... very inspiring to me ... I just love painting the shadows to give the feel of sunlight

the real people of downtown amman

watercolours on paper 14" by 10"

my life is divided between daners and theatre, and going downtown to buy stuff for the theatre costumes... the thing is, I am eternally drawm by both and inspired to paint them

this is one of the amazing and very interestng people who are there, daily, they sit by the sidewalk watching paople pass by while their sons work in the shops

another ballet dancer

8" by 11" watercolours on montval 300gms canson paper I have done a prior sketch for this one, and eliminated unnecessary details, and fewer colours in order to focus on shadows and depict light... I hope you like it, and thank you for visiting my blog and commenting, your comments give me great pleasure...

Figures ... in the street and at the Cafe

busy street 8" by 11"

at the beach 8" by 11"

going downtown 8" by 11"

at the cafe

tese are some sketches done without preliminary drawing to help me focus on shadows and the shapes they create...

more figures

Figues and people just draw me like a magnet to look at people i a coffee shop or a mall, and watch the light catch a colour in the hair or the skin tone ad transrer the scee into a magical hing that begs to be painted, at the same time catch a special emotional moment at the same time ...   Usually I start without a sketch and a very diluted wash and drop in colours ... and have so much fun
