"Self-Portrait"

12" x 23". oil.



Here are some in-progress photos (though taken with my cellphone camera which isn't great):


First state - You can possibly see the remnants of the painting beneath it. That other image was a disaster, so I slopped some light paint over it, inverted the board and got my mirror. Self-portraiture is an unpleasant, but often necessary exercise for practice.

Second state - Developing stuff here, it's just so hard to see with the bad photo, sorry!

The third state is what's above. Took about a week between each one.

Alphabet

~8"x8". ink.



When I get a new brushpen, it feels good to just make marks; pulling ink is fun and it doesn't even matter what about. The alphabet is a default subject :)
