Painting a Ballerina Graphic Tee Shirt (Video Below)

Painting a ballerina graphic tee shirt.

I purchased a vintage graphic tee shirt from an online store.

The tee shirt had an outline of a ballerina on it.

The ballerina outline gave me the opportunity to paint the hair, the dress, and the ballet shoes.

I even added lipstick, and nail polish.

To my dismay, I got one small spot of white paint on the back of the shirt.

I will probably add black paint to the back later to rectify this.

I filmed the painting of the hair, and ballerina dress.

This tee shirt is special to me because it has a ballerina on it.

Not only do I enjoy painting ballerinas, but I greatly appreciate the art of dance.

My fondness of painting ballerinas stems from the fact that I was once unable to draw movement.

Ballerinas are full of movement.

I am fascinated with practicing drawing the extension of the arms and legs, along with the undeniable grace that every ballerina has.

There have been times that I have been so moved by dance that I have been brought to tears.

As I draw/paint an image of dance, my imagination plays soft music in the background.

I did a canvas painting of a ballerina some years ago.

It is one of my favorite paintings.

I started with a drawing, and I remember that every move that I made with the pencil was right.

I did not need my eraser.

The same followed when I started painting.

I could not make a mistake if I wanted to.

Rarely do I gaze at my artwork for an extended period of time.

Yet, I did gaze at this painting recently.

It is so beautiful, and elegant, and I never imagined that I would be able to create such a piece of work.
