Day 19: What We Do in the Shadows (2014) - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2023

 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2023:
What We Do in the Shadows (2014)

Whew, another one done!  This time it's a painting of Petyr, the apathetic, 8,000-year-old Nosferatu Vampire from Taika Waititi's 2014 Vampire comedy, "What We Do in the Shadows".  Think "The Office" format applied to a group of Vampires.  It's a fun movie dealing with some of the absurdities and ennui of being a living dead.

This was done with Acrylic Paint and a limited palette of: Paynes Gray, Titanium White, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, and Primary Cyan.

STEP ONE:  Here is a really quick breakdown to suggest the general layout on the page and to lay down a first layer of colors.  It is painted on an 8-1/2" x 11" extra thick cardstock which was primed with a 50/50 mix of gesso and matte medium.

STEP TWO:  And here's the second-and-third pass adding more layers of color.

STEP THREE:  Here's the finished painting.  Onward to the next one!
