Spirited Away

As I've never really attempted to paint anything other than portraits, I thought I'd try something a bit different. This is some artwork from the movie Spirited Away (千と千尋の神隠し). The picture actually comes from the sleeve of the soundtrack CD:



I'm about halfway through, after about 90 minutes painting. I'm using acrylics, starting with a thin wash of the peachy colour in the background, I then added the tree, and started on the characters, applying the paint in thin layers. I'll finish it off this weekend hopefully, and post it on Monday.
