Though my self portrait does not look like me in the least, I am pleased with the final outcome. I chose to use acrylic paint to paint a picture of myself and rather than doing realistic colors, I used a variety of unnatural ones. I thought of this idea when looking through the work of more abstract artists and some self portraits on Pinterest (example below). Also, I tried painting a close up photo of me. I wanted to do a more colorful self portrait because it is more exciting than average colors. Also, it looks like something from a comic book or as if a photo has a really cool filter. Also, I have never showed value with color before and I wanted to try that. My favorite part of the piece is the technique I used for the painting. On the face, I blotted the paint on to give it an interesting texture. Also, I like the way I blended the colors together. If I could change something about this piece, I would firstly make it look more like myself and additionally, I would add more detail to parts of my face like my eyes. It is very difficult to make a painting look like oneself but I did have a lot of fun trying.
