About the artwork

This image in pastel shows the elegance, grace and feeling of movement as this ballet dancer concentrates on her work. The work of Degas was an inspiration here for Ivan. He found this a very enjoyable piece to create incorporating the details with the contrasts of light and shade. It is completed using soft pastels and pastel pencils on pastelmat paper. The sharpened pencils create the detail and the background is blended using polystyrene sticks to give a three dimensional effect to the completed painting.

I feel that pastels have a great vibrancy and richness of colour that is often under appreciated. I work largely from photographs and undertake commission work as well as create artwork in a wide range of subject matter. I like to give each piece a three dimensional effect and det... (see more)
