In this original acrylic work in progress WIP big eye gothic maiden painting I've done some painting on the under layers... I've applied a texture to the gravestones and painted a bit of the background as an underpainting. I'll be painting over all of this as I continue on, but it gives me a bit of a feeling of where I'm going with it.
This big eye gothic beauty is inspired by Wednesday Addams of the Addams Family and she is set in a Gothic cemetery. This is an 11"x14" painting on gallery wrapped canvas.
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. They seem to love clusters of flowers, watching butterflies is something I greatly love to do. I'm unsure if I'll paint it or not, but I did enjoy sketching it.
I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in July. This is day 1.
This is a rough sketch.

very pretty butterfly :)
We've been having lots of butterflies! I love your sketch Lisa! And, I love how your painting is coming along! So excited to see this one finished! Hugs!
Nice to see the WIP and a lovely butterfly sketch for PPF!
your wips are always so beautiful as they are and how wonderful to see them completed in their full glory too!
Hi Lisa Isabella! Thank you for visiting me earlier today and leaving such a sweet comment. I love Wednesday Addams! I am exited to see your Gothic beauty finished! I will have to visit on Tuesdays as well. You drew a beautiful butterfly. So dainty. I think leaving it a b&w sketch or painted in, both would look great! Have a wonderful week! Hugs, Rasz
Beautiful work, happy PPF, hugs, Valerie
Great sketches! Unfortunately I know I am not a person for a daily challenge...respect for you! Happy PPF - Irma
Fun sketch... good luck with the one a day... I've tried ... but never finished. happy PPF (or should I say PPS.... it's saturday.)
Thanks so much for your kind words on my work in progress and sketch! So far I've managed to sketch daily, but I haven't managed to post daily; but since it's just a challenge to myself, I just do the best I can...
Nicely done!! Beautiful!
Hugs Giggles
I think your Gothic lady will be really interesting.
Thank you Giggles and Fran very much!
