Melanie Statnick said...: this has intrigue. The values are wonderful. It has a very soft look.; June 30, 2010 at 9:05 AM
Casey Klahn said...: Thanks, Melanie!

I am learning a lot from Degas, and will post about it some in the future.

His figures are surprising the more you look.; June 30, 2010 at 10:05 AM
Jala Pfaff said...: Nice. Love that warm burnt-orange and the simplicity.
"At the bar"--I was expecting to see vodka--I think it's supposed to be "barre" for ballet. ?; June 30, 2010 at 8:43 PM
Casey Klahn said...: I looked it up, Jala, since my knowledge of both French and the ballet are next to nothing. Lucky for me, the spelling in American can be "bar." Whew.

I totally ripped the colors from the master's drawing. OTOH, the brown (Burnt Sienna, I want to say) is a jumbo pastel that I made myself.; June 30, 2010 at 10:05 PM
