I’ve been going through the photos from my new shoot, and hit upon one concept that I was excited to begin. Before the shoot, Gia and I discussed a few ideas we would try for, but this one happened by chance as we shot. I saw a glimpse of the idea during one of the sets, so I mentioned it to her, and we both started working out how to make it happen. Wardrobe was the biggest trick, since neither of us had planned the idea, and we didn’t have an outfit for it. Luckily I only use the photos for reference, as the hodgepodge outfit would look odd on its own. We got a variety of shots, but this one stuck out the most, so it makes the cut for at least this first painting (there may be more from this set of photos in the future).
The concept, if not the title, is “Devil’s Bride”, so she’ll be dressed in black and red, with a dark purple background. I finished designing it, so next is drawing it on the paper. For those that like deckled edges, this paper has them on all four sides…
