Tango sketches
19 August 2017
A couple of days ago, I was pondering on my love for tango and decided that I needed to express it somehow as I was not dancing much of late. The result is a series of study sketches based on videos I viewed of tango dances. I am not sure which one to choose to convert into an oil painting or an aquarelle.
Please do suggest and perhaps I will go with the most popular one. Thanks for all your views and comments in advance.

what yu like in tango expression or moves
I like all the moves in tango.
Definitely the first, but that’s my preference, there is something about staring into the eyes of the person with whom you’re enjoying a beautiful moment, with whom you are creating a memory thats worth pondering over, it does something to me. 🙂
Thank you Nitesh for your much appreciated and knowledgeable comment 🙂
In response to the original intention of your post I say while number two sketch shows a splash of the dance, number four illustrates the base needed for the “showy” moments.
And the legs seemingly moving in opposite direction while the dancers are, as we know, moving together – well, this is Tango.
Thank you Nick for your wonderful comment. Shall revisit and choose soon

Thank you!
Tango – four funny legs, two serious faces.
Can’t recall who said it but it bears repeating, eh?
That is a funny comment Nick; piercingly witty I would say 😀
Well played.
If the world elected only leaders who Tango things would go much smoother.
Milongueros in place of soldiers.
Bandoneons instead of bullets.
Okay, I’ll stop now.
I applaud your suggestion and heartily agree
Wao so amazing 😍👍👍
Thank you for your kind comment 🙂

Second one for sure. 🙂
I like them all. I think the third one.
Thanks a lot Syl 🙂
You’re welcome always, Geetha 🙂
These are beautiful. The second one really captures the spirit, but the last one deserves to be painted as well.
Thank you. Will wait until next week to decide 🙂
The 2nd one from the top, hands down. Beautiful artwork.
