Great job! complicated pose! Will you take this painting further? Do you paint on top of this if you want to take it to finish?

Beaucoup de sensualité et de délicatesse comme il se doit pour une ballerine... Ce dessin est déjà une belle oeuvre.

You've been doing amazing things in your life sessions lately. I think it's where you will find yourself...

So lovely and emotional.

Good! You are playing ball and hitting 'em out of the park! I'm on the bench, and the game must go on!

For a sketch, this has a lot of information. I agree with Billspainting--you're knocking them out of the park!

I love this "sketch!" It has all the makings of a classic . . . wonderful light and composition. The figure seems so perfectly placed in her space. (Really like your hands study, as well--the delicacy and strength in your brushstrokes).

Beautiful ballerina...call it sketch!! I just saw "The Black Swan" at the cinema, and your ballerina has about the same expression on her face as the leading actress Natalie Portman throughout the film...not very happy!

Dear Celeste,
I love this work~! Amazing, you do it with "oil"!! I wish I could join your oil class, if you have.
Cheers, Sadami
