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!!!!!
