Skeleton Witch Bust — Undead Sorcerer in a Wide Hat

A gaunt, half-skeletal face under an enormous soft-brimmed witch's hat — the brim so wide and so wavy that it throws the whole eye area into shadow, which is exactly the effect you want. Long ragged hair falls either side, the jaw is stripped back to bare teeth, and the shoulders are wrapped in a cloak gathered at the throat with a knotted cord. It stands on a turned round plinth. A proper Halloween display bust, and a very satisfying one to paint — the deep recesses do most of the work for you…
