Four Ballerinas on Stage (original: Edgar Degas)

David Lee, 2T2 MAM

I started this piece a few years ago but didn't end up finishing it because I was having trouble with painting the dancer's faces. Recently during quarantine, I decided to get back into doing more visual art. This piece is a recreation of one of Edgar Degas many works depicting ballerinas in the 1870s. Degas focused on capturing the beauty of light and darkness through moments of movement. He used a lot of expressive brush strokes and vibrant colours which made his paintings captivating.
