I love the challenge of representing something dynamic, like dance, in a static medium, like watercolor. I usually work from videos, to capture all sorts of spontaneous and in-between poses (versus staged postures for a photographer). I take screenshots, as I watch videos of dancers in action for the resource materials for these images. After I find a placement on the page that – in my view – creates the right composition/tension, I add color to complement the pose’s vitality.
