Description "Lady of Blood":
It`s the illustration for new fairy tale about Lady of Blood.
She is a kind wizard, who turns blood into the magic liquid of love and
life...
Lady of Blood lives in her ancient laboratory and conjures with blood.
She wants to present love and tenderness to every person in the whole world.
I think I`ll paint few pictures for this story next month
A little about technique - live portrait of my syster Christina.
I used my bottle of Jennifer Lopez Live perfume for drawing magic bottle.
