Dia de los Muertos / Day of the Dead Big Eye Art Original Painting Work in Progress WIP + March Sketches, Sketch 18, Butterfly...



In this original acrylic work in progress WIP big eye Day of the Dead / Dia de los Muertos fantasy painting, I've started to work on her makeup.  I still have a lot of makeup to go...  My hands were a little too unsteady yesterday to make much progress, but hopefully today will be a better day!  This is an 8"x10" painting on panel.


This is a work in progress, but I also usually post at least one finished piece on Tuesdays if you'd like to come to visit!  You also may see some of my finished paintings at www.lisarusso.com if you'd like.

I'm joining in this week with Paint Party Friday.  To see more participants, please visit:

Here is a sketch of a butterfly on some small flowers.  I love butterflies.  When I see them I am entranced by their delicate beauty.  Mainly I sketch them as practice for fairy wings, but they are wonderous creatures!


I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in March.  This is day 18.  

This is a rough sketch.
