Self Portrait

Description

Completed Nov 4. 2007
Approx. 12 hrs
Oil on masonite, approx. 2.5'x2.5'

A self portrait of myself. I like this one better than the graphite ([link]). This looks like myself, also.

Underpainting was blue and green. You can still sort of see it (I like that. I was trying to get in some opposites). I also like painting on masonite. it's so solid.

I've been told the eyes are too heavy, and that my eyebrows are too high. When I took the reference photo, though, I was raising my eyebrows. (But perhaps it looks unnatural this way. I'll keep that in mind next time.)

Thanks for viewing!
