Thanks for the explaination Lisa, and the sketch. That would be hard for me, the turning back & forth. When I paint from life I do not move my head at all, just my eyes slightly. I set it up so I can see who I am painting and the canvas at the same time. I do not think I have done it any other way.
I have read artists here who walk back and forth, remembering what they have seen. That is not something I could do, at this time anyway. I can't even remember what I did 2 minutes ago, nevermind trying to remember where a line exactly goes.
How do others paint self-portraits? Anyone care to tell how they have done it I'd be interested to hear.
