Degas Sketch 1

$500.00

This is a thread portrait based on a sketch by the famous painter Degas.  Degas referred to himself as a realist painter.  He began using Ballerinas in his art in the 1870’s.  This is one of his sketches.  Degas’ original art was charcoal and white pastel.  I used several grades of gray, black and white in my art.  I chose not to use thread in the background so that the threads stand on their own.

I believe I was able to capture Degas’ art in thread!
