La Bandita Calaca

The "Little Bandit" appears so sweet and innocent in her pretty Sunday dress...until she brandishes her pistola and dares you to follow.

Painting Process
This version of "La Bandita" differs from the light, airy watercolor version in many ways: first, the battered frame and glass surface are antiques from 1928; second, the textured background was achieved by layering various shades of red spray paint for depth and topping it off with gold flake for subtle sparkle; third, the female skeleton character was painted with bright, contrasting enamels for a dramatic, shiny finish.

Paper Prints
The 8 x 10 and 11 x 17 La Bandita Calaca prints are produced with archival ink on glossy paper and are perfect for those of you who prefer to frame your art.
