Drawing Bodies in Motion

Sugar plum fairy

March 16, 2021

Description

The aim of this painting was to capture the choreography of the sugar plum fairy as she practised a sequence in the dance studio. I used a video on repeat to capture the sequence of poses as she danced towards the camera. Using a combination of gesture to make marks that imitated the flow of the body and refined marks to fill in some realistic clues for the eye to hold on to.
