Painting dancers is always a great opportunity to practise drawing the figure. I love the beautiful lines dancers make. Tutus also create fantastic shapes, and they are a linking device in the first painting.
I found the red tutus easier to paint because I could create them with brushstrokes, rather than having to paint around them, as in the other two paintings. In pure watercolour, white can only be achieved by painting the negative shapes.
