I really like the expression in this one, Debra. Most artists' self portraits have that intense stare we all seem to wear when concentrating hard on a painting, but this is very refreshing.

As for the "wipe off" technique, it sounds similar to what Marvin teaches, except that he uses an earth tone underpainting. He tones the canvas and then wipes out the light areas while it is still wet.
