Description
The project for this was our final self portrait in Painting. Instead of focusing strictly on the skills and techniques that we learnt throughout the semester, I wanted to really focus on the mood and atmosphere. I worked with my desk lamp as my only light source to achieve some intense lighting and utilized a very limited colour palette, only using some blue to stand out in the shadows. This piece, and the course as a whole, helped me approach painting in a much more broad and emotional way instead of focusing on the minute details, which is a skill I will be sure to expand on going forward in my artistic career.
