When I think of ballet, I always think of The Nutcracker and of Toulouse Latrec's art. I was equally mesmerized by both. Long ago, I bought a clip art CD of his dancers/art. (Remember those days?) Anyway, Anna's new brushes reminded me of the beauty and of the realism of his dancer art.

Process notes:
I opened up the ArtsyPaper No. 4 from ArtPlay Palette Sparkle and rotated it 90 degrees. I placed my dancer art and blended it into the background. I stamped brush No. 7 from the NEW ballet brush set. Added a shadow and a recolored stroke to emphasize it more. I added a variety of transfers from APP Sparkle behind the brushed ballerina. I also place several transfers around the masked art to give it more interest and dimension. I created a composite layer (Shift+OPT+CMD +E), duplicated it and applied blend modes of divided and luminosity to give more of a pastel sketch look. A quote using the ballet brush No. 1 was the final touch. Whats that old sayingdance as if no one is watching?
Thanks for looking.
