Description
This time it's The Passion of Tango that's the subject... As usual, 61 x 91 cm (good poster size and the limit of my scanner), painted with a knife (quick and easy to clean), alla prima and limited palette (7 colours including the B&W) mixing on the canvas (quick and save on disposable palettes)There's many more figurative, dance and portrait fine art original oil paintings, pastels and signed gicleé prints on my website: R Young Art
Re-uploaded and made available as prints following requests.

I love the stillness in their faces, and how the background color helps give them more emotion and movement. Beautiful piece.

Really great! What I like most is their facial expessions: they're communicating even if they're not watching towards the watcher!

WOOOOOOW, wait,...did I read correctly ?...YOU PAINTED THIS WITH A KNIFE ?!?!?!?! I don't know much about painting myself, having such an apologetically bad hand for drawing, but how is that done? Because if you did this with a knife, hell with it, I'll send you to the Capilla Sistina to repaint everything with a pair of katanas. JUST AMAZING YOU DID A BEAU LIKE THIS WITH A WEAPON! I.LOVE.IT. KEEP MAKING MORE AND BETTER EVERY TIME!!!

Yes Jamie, of course. I don't have copyright of the pose! If you copy my painting however, please don't use it commercially. Good luck...

Great light and sense of movement. Looks rather uncomfortable for the woman though!

Hi Alex. Per the new Agreement I have with a Licensing Agent, I can self publish only for this image, hence I offer gicleé prints via my website in A2 or A1 size. Please take a look in the Available Prints page and if you are interested, let me know.
