Castle Dracul - stages 1 & 2

First stage

 Continuing with my Winter theme for some reason this image came into my mind and thought hell, why not? Previous vampire paintings have sold well and this will hopefully look a bit different to the plethora of vampire paintings out there already... hopefully. I am setting it on a cold, dark, frosty, Winter's day in Transylvania, how dark I am yet to determine and will decide that over tomorrow morning's breakfast coffee.

I am basing it on a desaturated blue/green - red/orange colour complementary.

First stage is the tonal  underpainting, the second stage is after washing some desaturated blue/green over it.

Oil on fine cotton 16" x 12".
