You'll learn simple painting techniques that will help you to develop this fun spooky creation filled with dimension, bold colors, misty fog, a fire filled silhouette of a jack-o-lantern watching a mysterious black cat emerging from the darkness! Whether you want your feline to have green, yellow or orange eyes, you'll have fun painting it walking into the foreground of this enchanted spiritual place, that may resemble an alley way, forest, or the inside of a haunted house with a Halloween holiday storybook illustration feel to it. You’ll learn how to paint this playful rendition of the Halloween, which is a celebration observed in many countries on October 31st, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day. Learn how to use simple painting techniques for blending the background for added depth and atmospheric dimension. You can personalize the type of eyes to be that of a cat, bat, goblin, ghoul, witch, ghost, zombie, or spider, or you could paint all of them! You could make the scene appear to be more ghostly, creepy, or make is look more outdoors by adding falling leaves, corn stalks or more pumpkins. This is a painting inspired by the fun spirit of the holidays and the imagination that can be sparked by their symbolism. Let the characters be the frightening focal point and the colors natural with vibrant hues using carefree paint strokes. You’ll learn how to add a realistic glow from the inside of the carved pumpkin that shines bright through the mist and casts a reflection on the ground in front of it, and a highlight on the black cat walking through the foggy air that will have a 3D realistic affect. The figures of the cat and the pumpkin will come to life with the magical ambiance of the spooky darkness that surrounds them. The complimentary colors will bring cohesion and harmony, creating a symphony of warm fall colours and good balance throughout the composition. This painting will be fun to create and you will learn some valuable lessons along the way on how to create an expressive image that is chilling, eerie and perhaps a little scary.
