I’ve been getting a lot of sun these past few weeks, so a bunch more freckles have popped up! (Plus, I really wanted to try and bring them out in black and white so this was a perfect opportunity.)
The “Fioravanti Folio” Self Portrait
(Master Copy - Reconstruction )Having done the “Adoration” self-portrait, I thought doing this one would be a nice challenge, seeing as Leonardo only left a few lines to go by - wind-swept hair included.

Self-Portrait, painted from life in photoshop. Trying to use values and colors as a compositional device in a portrait setting.

Self-portrait by Élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun, painted at Florence, 1790. Uffizi Gallery, Florence.
Been working on personal projects lately! Here’s a digital painting I did today. :>
A self-portrait in windows and corners. Thinking about Tacita Dean’s piece called “More or Less”, which I saw last night at the New Museum.
These colors are simply wonderful~
