The Vampire of San Antonio - stages 1 & 2

Stage 1

 This one is a combination of two themes, the Magic Light series and the Vampires of Venice series as well. Again it will be a dominant light source as in the Magic Light series but this time it is there to distract from the Vampire at bottom left - he will be more hidden in the final painting. Instead of using the monochrome look of earlier Vampire pictures I will be painting this in subdued tones of an analgous colour combination based around red but will incorporate the colours next to it as well, so red to violet one way and red to orange/yellow on the other. 

Seeing as it is the right size I may well consider this for my upcoming slot on Every Day Original near the end of this month.

The first stage is the tonal underpainting that used a mix of Burnt Sienna and Winsor Violet thinned with Liquin and mostly applied with a small bristle and a 1/2" Acrylix Flat brushes.

The second stage is a rough first colour pass which used mixes of the following colours: Winsor Violet, Ultramarine Violet, Permanent Sap Green, Alizarin Crimson, Brilliant Pink, Burnt Sienna, Permanent Orange, Naples Yellow, Lemon Yellow and Zinc White.

Oil on mdf 12" x 12".
