ART EXPLOSION WEEK 2: My First Entry - Day of the Dead Stencil Watercolor Painting
I decided to participate in my second art challenge after winning 2nd place in 8th ARTstyleART FUTURISM+RUSSIA art challenge yesterday. This time around the art competition is held by @juliakponsford and it's called ART EXPLOSION, Week #2. She announced the theme sometime yesterday and the theme for this round is 'phantoms'.
This stencil watercolor painting of day-of-the-dead skull is my first entry. Artists are allowed to submit 2 entries max. I hope to submit another one sometime this week.

Very cool, and appropriate! Thanks so much for entering!
Thank you @juliakponsford. It's my pleasure to participate :)
I LOOOVE anything day of the dead! <3
Thank you @creativesoul. I love the groovy colors associated with it but the skulls creep me out a bit LOL.
The skulls are the best part!
I dwell in the sunshine but adore the creepy stuff too <3
so nice artwork! Thanks for share ^_^
Thank you @silviabeneforti. I enjoyed the process of creating this too :)
It's beautiful :)
Thank you @thetruthbomb. I am looking forward to seeing your entries. I am sure they are fantastic.
Oh I don't know about that-nothing can top this. This is brilliant :)
This is good art work. How long did it take you to complete?
Thank you @raizel. This piece here took me about 5 hours to complete - from hand cutting the stencil, trace and paint it.
wow, so good! I was going to enter but I see there is no point now. I am not so good artist. I bet you win the challenge. Good luck my friend!
Oh please don't say that @deermarshall :(. There are several more days left to submit your entry. I am sure your art is special in it's own way. I am not a very good artist too but I participate mostly for exposure to the art community here on Steemit and to gain new followers/discover new artists to follow. Please reconsider :)
thank you for encouragement :)
Lovely colors and watercolor skills :D
Definitely followed and good luck with the contest.
Thank you @kristyglas. I am giving you a follow too 🙂
Thank you :D
Are you maybe interested in my dragon art contest? As I can see you've tried other contests. ^^
Dragons intimidate me LOL. Probably I will try it in the future. Thanks :)
Haha :D there are some truly adorable entries.
Now that you mentioned it I just recalled that I did draw a couple of dragons this year. Let me see if they are good enough for the contest :)
Awesome ^ ^
Thank you @kristyglas :)
