Ballet Lessons

This dynamic watercolour sketch draws inspiration from the fluid grace and movement captured during a contemporary ballet class. It seeks to preserve the ephemeral poetry of dancers mid-practice, where elegance intertwines with disciplined effort. Through soft, translucent hues and deliberate brushstrokes, the piece captures the delicate balance between tension and release, portraying the precise artistry of pliés and pirouettes alongside the raw, unfiltered energy of rehearsal.
