Hello from a painter wanting to learn belly dance!

**Jenspiration** · 09-10-2010 03:41 PM

Hello there!

I stumbled upon this forum while looking for reviews on a few tribal fusion DVDs and found it very informative. So thank you for that!

I'm Jen by the way! I paint things. I think I may be addicted to tribal costumes. Painting them, that is. Haven't actually got any costumes in real life (yet). There is a tribal belly dance class starting up where I live, so I'm sure the costumes will come with time. :P

Here are two studies of tribal ladies:

Pretty pretty!

I love your paintings! Welcome to Bhuz - I'm a painter/art teacher/bellydancer myself. I love to watch tribal and I love the costumes, although I'm a cabaret gal myself. Seems that there are a number of artists on Bhuz - must have to do with being right-brained, huh?

Welcome! Lovely painting!

**Jenspiration** · 09-11-2010 04:51 AM

Thank you :D

I can't wait to try out tribal belly dance for the first time! The classes start in a few weeks time. Sadly only once a week, but at least it's something.

Hi!

Here's a spontaneous study on some scrap paper.

**Jenspiration** · 09-11-2010 02:32 PM

Thank you thank you :D

Here's a cleaned up version of the blue belly dancer:

And a red dancer to accompany her!

Welcome! Your paintings are gorgeous!!
As a cabaret girl, I'd love to see your take on one of those too

**Jenspiration** · 09-11-2010 04:45 PM

Haven't actually painted any cabaret scenes before. :O Might be something to look into!

**Elibelinde** · 09-11-2010 04:49 PM

Hello from another painter!

Wish you were CLOSER! But, welcome to Bhuz, this way we can stay in touch..g.:

Do you have a website with more of your art?

Hey hello to you in Australia too..g.:

I'll bet it's beautiful there!

**Jenspiration** · 09-12-2010 09:41 AM

Can't wait to start the tribal belly dance classes at the end of this month! Think it's gonna be even more inspiring once I get to actually -dance- and not just watch others :P

**ShoshannaQ** · 09-12-2010 01:14 PM

Hey Jenspiration - these look a lot like costume design studies. Any interest in that field? seems like you'd be a natural.

**Jenspiration** · 09-12-2010 02:35 PM

Hey!
I love costume design. A bit addicted to layering and fabrics and textures and colours and... could go on.

But I did illustration as a degree and have focused more on story-telling through comics. Costumes sort of go hand in hand with that :)

**Bahtya** · 09-12-2010 10:22 PM

All I can say is.... WOW!!!!

Oh and welcome.

**LiesaB.** · 09-13-2010 07:40 AM

Hi from NE New York State! Beautiful paintings!!

That's what I was thinking! A natural!
