Experiment - Red Riding Hood

For some time now I have wanted to make a series of paintings that are narratives of classic children's tales. This is the first one, Little Red Riding Hood. I tried some new techniques and spent more time than I probably should have to get this image to a place where I liked it. I developed a much more finished drawing than I normally do, then transfered it to paper which was then sealed and painted on in oil. Here is the result.
