Self Portrait 24"x20" Oil painted 1_4_2017

For the artist , the student, as well as the advanced, the Self Portrait is the best exercise in learning portraiture or figure painting. The model is always available. And the artist has a patient model who is willing to pose patiently anywhere and in anyway the artist wishes. The model, also, is willing to sit for three hours or more with no breaks as long as the artist is willing and able to continue. 

The best part of this exercise is that if the artist is satisfied with the outcome so is the model.
