Caput Mortuum

Description

Speed painting that I got a bit carried away with. I wasn't originally aiming for dried blood with the background, but that's what it makes me think of :)

Since it was my birthday I'd treated myself to some new W&N Artist's Series half pans and then cracked them open to see what they could do for the background here. So say hello to Naples Yellow, Brown Madder and the wonderfully named Caput Mortuum Violet which I think is my new favourite watercolour hue alongside Payne's Grey...

Will rehome this for cash if anyone wants to make me an offer ;)

The colors are vibrantly dark, if such a phrase can make sense :) And the background reminds me more of how scary fog should look when you're walking alone in the woods. I guess my scary fog is blood red hah.
