New painting!
"ssskkkuuullllll"
12"x12"
Acrylic on Canvas
I got a commission the other day to recreate a painting I had made last year:
This painting was a ton of fun to make. It is simple enough, basically just two overlapping skulls, but it was deceptive in simplicity because once this thing got going it was pretty difficult to focus on which skull was which. Especially with the completed painting there was a very unnerving effect created by the two being so close together.
The commission I got was to recreate this original painting, but to do it in Red/Green/Blue. So, to get started I made sure to draw and paint each skull one at a time. I started with the center skull in one color, then the next in red, and the final in blue. This made it much easier to follow along and keep my focus on which was which.
Once I got the basics down I started to refine them more and bridge the gaps in color.
Looking good! Now that I had the basics down I decided to add some things to the background to make the overall piece more interesting and giving the skulls a place to live instead of just floating around.
Pretty happy with the final piece. I think I'm going to polish it up a little bit more, but I think it gets the point across.
