Palette Knife/Self Portrait Painting



The first palette knife sketch that I did. It took a while to get used too, but after a while I started to get the hand of it. I made the mistake of starting out with the red on the tube of paint, making it harder for me to get the white to...well be white instead of pink.

The second sketch that I did. 

I did this one while listening to a Mrs. Woods talk about color and color schemes and  stuff.



This one is horrible, and its not even the first sketch I did. My eyes are all off and stuff. Each one of these I did in an hour.


 If I look really tired in this one...well it's because I was really tired. I did this one in very late at night.
My final self portrait. After looking at myself for hours in the mirror
 and painting myself, I just finally gave up and called it done.

A closer up look.

  1. Look up Richard Diebenkorn. You might appreciate the texture and efficiency of brush strokes to define objects. Look at his compositions too.
