WIP Big Eye Ghost Art Original Painting Work in Progress + October Sketches, Sketch 25, 26, & 27/ Big Eye Mermaid, Goddess, & Fairy...

In this original acrylic work in progress WIP painting of a big eye ghost.  I've worked on her chemise, her shading, fixed her nose, and painted her features...  I'd like to add in some drips with her eye makeup soon and I'm excited to do some experiments on my test canvas for her hair.  "Moonrise" is inspired by an African American folktale "I Know Moonrise" as retold by S.E. Schlosser.  She drowned in the marsh and longs for her family. 

This big eyed beauty is on a 16"x20" canvas in acrylics.   

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 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 big eyed gothic maiden.  Her hair flows wildly around her and she seems to have a quizzical expression...  I think she is most likely a mermaid, although she could also be a fairy angel or a goddess.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in October. This is from day 25. 

I would like to try to reach a goal of 100 faces sketched on consecutive days, I started this effort on September 1st, 2017...  This is face 55. 

This is a rough sketch.

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She has a whimsical look.  This isn't one of my favorites, but some days are just better (or worse) than others.  I think she is most likely a fairy angel, although she could also be a mermaid or a goddess.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.
