Tuesdays are great for painting

Having great fun getting this painting together now despite the rain thundering down outside, its back to the partial reveal painting. One of my favourite bits is applying the line in oil, it is slow work and requires a lot of focus but it soon comes together. 
 
This painting originates from sketches in pen done whilst watching a super ballet where the dancers wore flame red skirts and were topless (quite unusual for a ballet!)

I am applying glazes to other parts of the painting - a fantastic red.
