Categories Figurative

Série sur la trace du Ballet La Belle au bois dormant
Technique : crayon, sanguine, pastel, encre de chine, encres ecoline et technique mixte.
Lignes courtes ou longues, continues ou discontinues, courbes, parallèles ou croisées renforcent l'intensité du mouvement des danseurs, l'expressivité des visages et donnent vie au costume, à sa matière et à son volume.
La dichotomie dans le traitement des ombres et lumières suggère l'intensité dramatique des scènes, l'arrière-plan qui représente le corps de ballet ou le décor est traité par (un système de) hachures. Les silhouettes immobiles presque fantomatiques s’opposent au premier plan où l’action des danseurs-protagonistes de la scène se joue.
Le velouté du trait et les fines hachures suggèrent l'épaisseur atmosphérique et donne au dessin un effet proche d’une estampe.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Pastel

Drawing made with a colored stick. It consists of pigments, a charge and a binder. A distinction is made between dry pastels (soft or hard) and fatty pastels (oil or wax).

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.
