Self Portrait

I was not really serious when I started this,but it looked decent enough to share in the end....It was painted in Raw Sienna ( I spent half of my tube!) Each color behaves in a different manner.So I guess there will be more studies, each in different color.It would be a good exercise, don't you think?

Self Portrait

.........
This is a second time that I have done a self portrait; first one was about three years ago!
The reference photo was taken by my husband in summers.I always thought it was too strong,too close- as I tried to stare into the setting sun....But today as I thumbed for subjects, I came across this one and thought- "why not!"
Today being cloudy and dull, the photo didn't come out great; sorry about that.
Watercolor on A4 sized cold pressed paper

Self Portrait

This is my first ever self portrait .....I dont know why I never attempted doing a SP, but when a great fellow artist David Lobenberg proposed a "self portrait paint-off", I thought of giving it a try!

I did it on my 12"x9" Cold pressed paper, using watercolors.My son gave it four stars out of five..( Fifth he saves for "excellent" which, evidently it was not!)
