Caspar David Friedrich

Casper David Friedrich (1774 - 1840) was a landscape painter of the nineteenth century German Romantic movement. His paintings featured figures in night skies, morning mists, desolate trees and gothic ruins. I chose his work because I feel it fits in with the project well, his work being dark and gloomy.

Coming from an art background, I wanted to experiment with gothic art and incorporate this with makeup. Below is a face chart I have created, inspired by Caspar David Friedrich. The products I used to create this look are:
Kryolan Viva Eyeshadow Palette - Black Pepper/Fennel
M.A.C Eyeliner - Black
Black and White Colouring Pencils
