Self portrait NR 1 Done with Acrylic paint!

in #art8 years ago

Doing a self portrait is not something I like or prefer to do! I don't feel skilled enough to work with faces at all but, I want to learn!
Today I used Acrylic paint because I do most of my work with that! In the coming weeks I will make more of them with other mediums like water color and chalk! 


I refuse to work with shadows and skin colors at this point because... well it's just not my style! Maybe in time when I learn to to faces, eyes and hair better I might feel different! In this case I wanted to create something in multi colors to give it more spicy effect! 


Gosh, to be honest with you all.... I do NOT like the end result. Maybe it's the paint I picked, maybe the colors or maybe even the little circles I felt like adding in the end for some unknown reason! It happens and I am sure that it will happen again! I would like it better when I can say, "Oh look what I made, I love it!" BUT not this time. It's not that I really hate it ... Maybe it's because it's a self portrait? I dunno... I like the picture I used... Hmmmm Interesting! 

Maybe I will like it better when I use a different medium next time!

I don't agree with you this time dear @poeticsnake . That is very nice painting. Maybe you are too tired and can not see what you done there.

I am tired yes, that is true..

Last night I tried to write my "Thanks" post about #adoptaminnows.. I was so tired and writing - deleting... it took 3 hours to post it. I can imagine what you see your self work when you are tired. :)

WOW 3 hours!!
I am going to check you post out! :D
Yeah, I really need more sleep BUT steemit is so much fun! :D

I like it! And I wonder.. do artists who really love their own work even exist???
The little circles make it look like pop-art ☺ (wow, does 'pop-art' even exist?? 🤔 The term just popped out of my head! 😆)

LOL! You made me laugh so hard! I needed that! Thank you!
I dunno if they are there but... lol
Most of the time when I look at my work I think... Nah!
Maybe it's just artists? LOL
and yes pop art is real!

I'm totally agree with you. PopArt is real and "One of its aims is to use images of popular (as opposed to elitist) culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any culture, most often through the use of irony." Says Wikipedia :)

Well, that's the proof that you made a GOOD painting! 🤗 It opened a drawer in my head that I didn't even know was there anymore 😁

Very good. art painting creative diy life post...I liked your post and liked it and followed

Thank you very much!
It's really appreciated!

For someone that doesn't like to draw faces you did a pretty darn good job. Waaaaaaaaay better than I could do it, and I like your mohawk in this drawing 😉

Awwww thank you! I love my mohawk!!! <3 <3

I am glad you like it!

Very artistic.

Thank you so so so much!

@poeticsnake I think a very good paint. Maybe, you expect more from yourself. That is a not traditional paint, but a good paint. Continue doing until you get satisfied about that, because you are the principal subject to agree with yourself.
Upvoted.
Could you read spanish?
Have a nice evening!

Hey hey!
Thank you so so much for your sweet words!
Maybe it's not done YET! That might be it... Maybe I am not satisfied, you might be very right!
:D

I can read spanish a little but not so well!

Happy evening and a beautiful new day

Much love and respect!
