Two ladies meet in a 'Dance Off'.
Flower Ballerina and Stardancer were the perfect choice for this project for me, especially with the flowing ribbons on the Stardancer.
I've used a mix of Prismacolor pencils, oil based Marco Raffine pencils and LuminArte iridescent watercolours for the main image with embellishments of sequin flowers and stars and a breast cancer awareness ribbon.
I finished this last night, and photographed it with flash to highlight the iridescent background and make it appear as if the dancers are meeting in mid air.
This has now been entered into the Stamps by Aurora Wings October Challenge.
As I mentioned a couple of days ago the main image was done using
Flower Ballerina colours were Light Peach – PC927, Blush Pink – PC928, Pink Rose – PC1018 for the skin with the darkest tone Salmon Pink – PC1001. Pink – PC929, Process Red – PC994, Hot Pink – PC993, Mulberry – PC995 and Marine Green – PC988 for the dress and pointe shoes. Finally Pumpkin Orange – PC1032 and Orange – PC916 for the hair.
Star Dancer colours were flesh tones – 518, 519, and 520. Pinks in the dress were 512, 513, and 516. The stars were done with dark plum 525 and the hair was browns 553, 559 and 563.
The background LuminArte colours were Natural Linen, Chiffon Pink, Cherry Sorbet and Mustard Green, with hints of Iridescent Red in the Star Dancers hair.
The border around the image is a MicheleRDesigns paper from her Shabby Chic collection, and the sequins are from a packet of mixed shapes and sizes pink and orange sequins purchased in Poundland. The Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon was sourced from the internet and came as a PNG image from Cliparts.co and is a free download. http://cliparts.co/clipart/19078
