Flamenco Jerez / Painted on my iPad Air / ArtRage3
Nah, Still no Flamenco here, due to all the Semana Santa activities. This is done from a photograph I took on my first visit to Jerez de la Frontera, back in 2001. I'm just getting a little anxious, I suppose.
I tried going for a colored inks effect. I'm not too happy with the result. I like Flamenco SMA from a couple of days ago much more than this one. So much still to learn with even this one app.
I'm really excited about the ability to maintain the original sketch with all its searching and wild, uncontrolled exploration of the subject along with the more careful, refined paint application. My early thinking and preliminary work has always been obliterated by the finished work. Except in watercolor, that is, in which, until recently, i did no preliminary drawing just went directly into the painting with no guide lines at all. Then there were the confections. Loose, spirited line drawings with touches of watercolor. Here the original line work remained, however these were more sketches than developed works.
I can hardly wait to see what develops tomorrow.
¡Hasta mañana!

Love the sense of motion here! Muy Bueno!
Thanks Twoscamps,
I hope to be in the peñas, soon, hearing the music and passing some of it on.
I can almost hear the music!

Hi Kristy, and thanks,
I will try and pass on more of the motion, too. Hmmm, looks like I managed to get these two replies transposed.
Her arm looks like a man’s arm. A little too masculine. She needs a smile.
Hi Doris,
I think if you could see her in motion, she would be quite feminine, yet powerful. Smiling doesn’t seem to go with the intensity of the dance, nor with the plaintive,
often tragic nature of the music
I hope you like the painting anyway, but if not, there are plenty more coming up.
