A Halloween Painting
Hey guys,
I painted this tonight, because I was in the Halloween spirit - I call her Lacrymosa
Sorry that some of the details have got lost with the poor photo - if the flash is on, it just bounces off the paint and makes it look super shiny, but if it's off.. well.. it's a bit blurry.
It's oil on canvas, and took about 2-3 hours. I haven't painted for almost a year so it was really good to get brush back on canvas again!
Here is a close up of her face:
What do you think? Sorry about the watermarks.. in this day and age it is an unfortuante necessity

Wow thank you all for your lovely comments!
jadewik: Hehe yeah I like to draw my manga girls with big eyes - eyes are the first thing I look at in a person and I think they can be so beautifully expressive! It's acrylic paint but I like to water it down a little to get a watercolour affect - especially as I discovered, to my horror, that my white paint had gone solid so I couldn't do highlights that way
One Eye'd Jack: Thank you, yes, I wanted her to look sort of sad but cold at the same time, sort of.. haunting..as though she were a ghost of herself
spookyboo: It's such a good outlet, isn't it? I normally draw, but sometimes I just get the urge to get the paints out ! Do you paint too?
JACKRYAN592 Thank you very much! It will be for sale at some point, I'm thinking of painting a collection of horror/halloween themed manga paintings and exhibiting them somewhere. I would love to sell them online but I think postage and packaging might be an issue as it's canvas and it would be devastating if it got broken in transit.
Actually, that's a thought - does anyone have experience with buying/selling paintings via mail order?

Sounds like there's more than one artist in the bunch-- I know people are already doing the candy/decoration trade... but have you ever thought about doing/putting together a Halloween (or other holiday) art trade?
I participated in one once for Valentine's Day. It was pretty fun.. but my art sucked back then.
