Young ballet dancers in pale tutus gather in a sparse studio for examination, their delicate figures scattered across the wooden floor in various poses of anticipation and grace. Warm ochre and gray tones dominate the composition, with natural light streaming through tall windows that illuminate the dusty studio space and cast the instructor in shadow on the left. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
