I had another go at this self-portrait today. I used the same canvas but set up the lights differently this time so that I could eliminate that awful shadow from my glasses. I also worked at restating the neck, which had been too short [for me] and decided to attempt a more cheerful, less concentrated and grumpy, expression. I like it better now although it might be a bit too yellow still. It’s better than looking bruised as I did on May 16th. Here’s the before picture so you can see the difference. Cheerio!
This blog documents my creative journey with watercolor, mixed media, & oil painting. I'm enjoying myself immensely and hope you find something uplifting in my paintings and/or their stories.
