Seeing as I have an upcoming slot on the 23rd of April on Every Day Original I thought that I would paint another "Vampire Of Venice" for it as I enjoyed painting the last one. This time I have chosen the well-known Rialto Bridge as the location although quite when is more vague as I am going to have it dark with no lights on so that must make this painting set in a time before electric lights... not a good time to encounter a vampire when it's a moonlit night but otherwise dark and mysterious. Like the last one I have come in closer to the face which makes them different to all the previous vampire (Nosferatu) paintings.
This is the tonal underpainting stage using a mix of Burnt Sienna and Dioxazine Purple thinned with Liquin and applied with a brush and rag with a wash of desaturated blue/green over it.
Oil on fine cotton 16" x 12".
