30 Paintings in 30 Days-Day 21

wolfman-21

A little more than a week left in the 30 days and we are witnessed to a man who fears the full moon and when the wolfsbane blooms.  Larry Talbot, who is better known as the Wolfman, is the subject of today’s painting.  Lon Chaney is the actor who portrays the monster.  And he is the only actor to play the same character in all of the Universal Studio monster movie sequels.

Since the movie was shot is black and white I thought I would also post the ink wash version of this before any watercolor paint was added.

30 Paintings in 30 Days-Day 6

Vincent Price

This portrait is of Vincent Price from his roll in The Fall of the House of Usher.  The film was based on an Edger Allen Poe story and directed by Roger Corman.  The film was released in 1960 and was one of many Poe stories that Price and Corman collaborated on.  It was also when Corman was actually making some fine cinema and not just doing cheap horror and sci-fi movies.

I branched out and used some blue paint along with the limited palette of my latest paintings but I did go back to painting in oils.  But, I will probably be leaving the oil paints behind for the next painting.

Boris Karloff- Day 8- 30 Paintings in 30 Days

One full week of paintings completed!!  Now on to week two!

After doing a portrait of Bela Lugosi as Dracula on day 4, I knew I would have to include the actor who is probably the most well known of the classic monster characters, Boris Karloff.  You can not mention or think about Frankenstein’s monster and not think of Karloff under the makeup.  But as an actor, Karloff has a huge resume of great roles.  And, I have drawn and painted several renditions of Karloff as The Monster, this made me decide to just do a portrait of the man, not one of his monster movie characters.  As I did this painting I was listening to a great album that Karloff narrates about the classic Universal Horror movies.  It’s called “An Evening With Boris Karloff And Friends”.  Here is a link so you can listen to both sides of the record.
