Face paint and Halloween

Well, this afternoon was spent preparing for the Cubs Halloween party where even the leaders have to dress up. Since I’m an art student, I’ve decided to be a painting (because, why not?!) I chose 4 possible paintings:

Matisse painting.

Picasso painting.

Another Picasso and the final choice.

Frida Kahlo.

Ultimately I chose the third painting which is a particularly striking Picasso. Couple of hours later and here are the results (prepare for a lot of photos):

Before

Initial black outline

After (obviously)

Only took me about 2 hours

Better lighting

Right side of my face

Left side of my face

And another from the front

And with a hat – I don’t have a red beret

Never doing this again so appreciate all these photos

I also painted my Mam and my sister’s faces

Pumpkin Carving

This morning’s achievements – carved 2 pumpkins and 1 persimmon.

Initial pumpkin design.

Finished Cheshire cat.

Finished scary pumpkin and trapped persimmon.
