If you are following my The Women Artist Project this one is the first task in this project - Make a self Portrait .
Take 10 photographs of yourself and make a collage of them
Or do a blind contour ( i.e. look at yourself in the mirror as you draw don't look down ) a crazy self portrait it will be
Reference any photo of yourself old or new and paint either perfectly or loose however you wish.
Yesterday as I started on this task, I first did a blind contour of my face, and you must see the result!
I know, it is funny, but for me I can see the resemblance, it is perfect , now I am not aware if this just happened for me , but you should definitely try this ! It can be a fun exercise and you need not be a creative for it . So try it and tell me how it goes
The second part I did I gave myself some time I painted this one over 13-15 Minutes, mostly because I did really want this to be a fun process. I have painted portraits for the better part of my art journey infact If I recollect well it had sort of become the only defining code for me as the "milestone to achieve" at some point becoming unhealthy for me , so to keep myself in a sane state of mind I stuck to the time limit and i am glad I did !
So here is the final art - my image and my painting .
I like the final result and I also like the looseness of the work .
