Materials: Oil pastel
Dimensions: 9” × 9”
Artist Statement: My piece is about ballerinas and their elegance. The part of my art that I am most proud of is the attention to detail I added. The detail showed depth in my piece and added character. I think using oil pastel was a bigger challenge being able to blend all of the colors and creating shadows. Genuinely I think i’m proud of this piece because it’s something I thought would be easy but then I realized it was a bit of a challenge that I had to take on.
