Just returned from a 3 day weekend painting workshop focusing on self portraits and portraits. Challenging!!!! We set up mirrors next to our easel, strong light and warmed up with a few 20 minute thumbnails. The first self-portrait was over a 2 afternoon period. Mine changed radically in color as the painting progressed. We also did a quick 2 hour self portrait, I tried to stay in a mostly red format and mid values. We also had a great model with a very chiselled face, great to paint! Here are the results, all oil on panels.

Annie,
The red, looser portrait seems to really show you, be you. It is marvelous to see your talent and versatility. I want a copy! N
