Dianne, I have started this self portrait and plan to finish it. At the moment I am involved with a number of other projects and this self study must wait. I have it hanging in my small studio and each time I look at it I notice how simply it was done, and what there is still to do. At the same time I'm so glad I started it for I am learning a lot just by looking at my mistakes and by trying to figure out what to do next. My goal is to better understand the procedure rather than hurry and get a perfect likeness or finish.
Each drawing I do or painting I paint I do in order to learn and this is what I enjoy the most. Sure, the excitement seen on the face of a client is the icing but there is more to the painting than just the finish.
I see your desire Dianne but as others have stated on this forum "there is no shortcuts" that is if you wish to be the best that you can be.
Wish you the best that you can be!
