31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2023:
Let the Right One In (2008)
This time it is the fantastic Swedish Vampire film, "Let the Right One In" (2008). A twelve-year-old boy, terribly bullied at school, meets and befriends a "young" girl he later learns is a vampire. A tale of loneliness, family, and love (of a sort? The "love" of a Vampire, appropriately, seems of a more parasitic nature).
[Minor Spoiler:] The entirety of the pool scene at the end shows why you don't mess with Vampires; even though the action is off screen, you see the results as they happen and it is worth the price of admission.
This was done with Acrylic Paint and a palette of: Paynes Gray, Titanium White, Yellow Ochre, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Cadmium Deep Red, and Primary Cyan.

STEP ONE: Here is a quick, color breakdown done over some hastily scribbled pencils. 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 a continuation and general tightening up of the painting.
