ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This is a delicate pastel pencil and charcoal drawing in a muted dark violet, with a light blue-grey, textured background. I applied acrylic ground for pastel on watercolor paper, giving it a textured tooth, then covered it with a light, irregular wash of blue-grey watercolor. Over that I drew the figure with a light, thin charcoal pencil and a violet pastel pencil. The work derives from sketches I made from ballet dancers rehearsing. In this work, the strength of the dancer's muscles and pose contrast with the delicate nature of the medium.

William Currie
United States
Currie is an American artist who has lived in the Northeastern US, California, Washington DC, and now lives and works in Michigan. His paintings explore line and color and often merge semi-realistic with modern and abstract approaches. He uses multiple layers of paint to create texture and richness of tone. He experiments with ways to combine aspects of drawing and painting, sometimes painting pure abstracts to loosen up or explore new combinations of colors and textures. Figure paintings are developed in the studio from photos taken on the street while traveling, sketches from memory, or from charcoal or pastel studies drawn in sessions with live models. Currie is a self-taught artist who has been drawing and painting since childhood. He draws and paints live models with groups of other artists in Michigan.
