Feeling Good is a painting I made to give to my jazz dance teacher. It is named after the song we choreographed to.
It is a combination of watercolour, acrylic, India ink, and gel pen on watercolour paper. I found the combination of so many mediums to be challenging but also very interesting, and it was the best way to achieve what I wanted in this piece, which was a playfulness using shadows. The outlines around the dancer, words, and curtains are meant to almost be reminiscent of a sticker placed on top of the paper, which is a quality I enjoy adding to many of my 2D drawings and paintings. I big influence for this painting was Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s posters.
A thank you to my jazz teacher who inspired this painting.
