Here's some documentation of Sue's amazing "Belladonna Smiles" album cover process for the Bone Poets Orchestra's next cd. It's a work in progress, just like the music part of the record. |
|
|
|
|
I used Alphonse Mucha's work "Summer" as kind of style guide for what I'd like the cover to look like. |
Then we photographed our lovely friend, Julia. |
Sue then made the initial sketches... |
|
|
|
|
Sue spent a lot of time on color. |
A close up of one of the flowers and berries. |
But every bit makes the painting more 3 dimensional. |
|
|
|
|
If you look close, you can see the resist in the tan parts |
They make up the beginings of bone of creatures in the background. |
Some of the coloring takes shape. |
|
|
|
|
Now the shading gets more critical... |
and happens in small increments, which have to dry before the next bit. |
More color. The lines will come last. |
|
|
|
|
The skeletons were done as a resist. |
Before shading. |
After shading. Note the red corpuscles in the background. |

|
The final painting. Next: into Photoshop! |
|
|
How it all started. |
