I painted the Ballerina Rosso Retrò with only one colour, Daniel Smith Extra Fine Deep Scarlet. The challenge was to express a freshness and liveliness in the dancer yet maintain a sense of age in the overall feel of the painting. I followed a traditional approach, working from light to dark and transparent to opaque colour applications, aiming to capture a scene with two or three washes of light, medium, and dark values.
