Ballerinas Gone Bad



Not really, but sort of. Erin H as the "Black Swan" tonight at drawing class....lots of fun. Erin and I came up with different pieces of the outfit and it turned out great. Something old, something new, something borrowed and something black. Erin did her own makeup...super! Great poses sealed the deal. Two 15 minute sketches shown, conte and pastel. Look for a painting soon. Most drawings posted are for sale...that includes these two. $225 each.

Thanks Jamila and TP. That was a fun costume to draw...had an attitude to it. Excellent job by the model, Erin, with the make-up as well.
