Nightmare Before Christmas Painting
5:00 AM
Acrylic painting 12x12 on canvas
I recently watched Nightmare Before Christmas and I just love that movie.
Since I've been in Halloween mode lately, it was on the brain. My little guy wanted to paint, so I grabbed a 12x12 canvas I'd bought at Big Lots a while ago to make a quick simple painting for Halloween decor I guess.
I know it's not really accurate, the end of the movie where Jack and Sally find love in the moonlight, it's actually all covered in snow. But I wanted it Halloween, so I just made it grayish and kept the pumpkins from the movie cover.
It was pretty quick and fun to paint. This little man decided he'd rather paint himself than the paper, so we both had a good time for the afternoon.
It was pretty simple:
Just a yellow circle with black/ navy around it.
Then I sketched the gray ground and Jack/ Sally silouettes.
Anyway, just a quick little painting for Halloween! Right now it sits on my mantle with a few pumpkins.

You are so talented, girl! What a fun decoration idea. Your little guy is too cute for words.
ReplyDeleteWow! I wish I could paint like that! Super cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this (and the movie)! I have been collecting Halloween decorations for a long time, and I have become pickier over the years - so much of holiday decor sold in stores is mass produced in China and is usually poor quality. You've created something unique and well made - which is how all of your crafts seem to be, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAgain, I say it: You are very talented! I mean, seriously: Wow! Not everyone can draw as well as you. You could easily sell these (assuming that you could get copyright rights, heh) on Etsy or elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteGo you! :)
Super cute painting! LOVE IT! =)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by, we love to hear from you!
