Self portrait

Self portrait, a photo by dibujandoarte on Flickr.

A draft made with an old & worn out marker, over a cardboard on which I had
pasted some pieces of newspaper. Later I applied temperas with a piece of
wood like a painter's knife. I chose cyan yellow and magenta, but only the
first is pure. Also used some white tempera. I added charcoal lines at the
end.

Oil study

Study of lights & shadows +Colours and compostion. I'm trying to see which
colours as a basis are better for the skin. I usually use just the 3
primary (CMY) + white. A little black to make different values of grey and
nothing else. In this case didn't use magenta but crimson, and ulttamarine
instead of cyan.

playing with paint shop pro and the oil selfportrait I did, and after Juj's mail saying about our image on the mirror, on a photo, to flip a photo, so here are four ways I can look like. By the way the pose wasn't totally front but a little rotated as I set a lamp from the left and wanted to have lights and shadows to play with. it's fun to see these images of "me" ¿?

today I worked with live model for the first time in my studio, together with my partner and a friend. After they all left I started this painting on heavy brown paper with acrylics then oil. I still have to finish some details and even darken it all, here I've darkened it a little digitally so this is how it's should look after that dark layer.

last saturday and sunday i was working in my studio on this oil painting. i still have to finish it, but it'll be from the photo I took cause i had to return every object to their places.

i have to let it dry to apply some changes and effects, you know how oil painting is...
