This was really fun to paint. I am enthused about the ODG lessons. Thank you
ginger, why didn’t you paint the background first? Would it make a difference if I did that?
Oh my, what an amazing painting! Degas is one of my favorites! I hope you’ll do more of his works! I’m just starting to paint, I’m really new, but I have watched this tutorial all the way through and you explain things so well…I’m going to be brave and try this. I just have to try to paint it, it’s one of my absolute favorite paintings! Thanks so for for this lesson!!!!!
Thank you Ginger, I want to know how to paint ballerina’s. Will do after Luna & Trix.
Ginger, Thank you for this lesson, I love this and paintings from the old masters. Chris Littebrant-Raleigh NC
