Last time we visited The National Gallery and there was Degas’s exhibition.
Degas has lots of artworks about dance, and mainly are ballet. In this artwork, Degas painted about some ballet dancers on the theatre. Degas may painted the artwork in impressionism. Light colour for dancers and dark colour for the background, it makes shadow to show the figure and clothing. Because ballet is a slowly movement, Degas used soft brushstrokes and soft colour, I can feel how graceful the ballet dancer is from Degas’ amazing skills. "A painting requires a little mystery, some vagueness, some fantasy.” Degas is a very capable artist and has superb techniques.
