Graceful. Elegant. Extravagant. Delicate. Pain. Intricate. Fantasy. Beautiful. Lyrical. Passionate. Disciplined. Flexible. Swift. Feminine. Artistic. Breathtaking. Stunning.
All of these words can describe ballet and the dancers that work countless hours perfecting their art to perform and captivate their audience and give them an astounding show.
I love ballet and I wish I had stuck with it as a kid. Whenever I am stuck in a rut and have trouble finding inspiration but am in the mood to sketch I look at Edgar Degas’s paintings of ballerinas. His paintings capture the movement and gracefulness of each individual dancer. It’s unbelievable and awe-inspiring. The colors and costumes create a world in which I am unfamiliar with, making everything more stunning and magnificent.
