Sketch in Degas garrett

Sketch

Degas painted real people doing real things and usually did sketches before doing a painting. I did this quick sketch in our garrett room of the
Degas House in New Orleans so that I could experience doing artwork where he did it.

Tribute: to Degas-ballerina on the wall*

Pastel & pencil
5x7, $125.


We are staying at the
Degas House in New Orleans where French Impressionist Edgar Degas painted while residing in his maternal relatives' house in America. This is a pastel sketch inspired by a painting of ballerinas on the wall in the room.
From here I attended a ballet class at the New Orleans Ballet Theater.
