I cut a printout of a photo in quarters and used a different medium to paint over each section in this self-portrait. Click to enlarge.

    Wonderful self portrait. Mine usually look like I’m getting ready for Halloween. I need to leave out those “character lines” in my face.

    Wow! This is really beautiful. What a great idea to use different mediums. What are the inktense pencils?

    Love it. I saw a similar exercise in LK Ludwig’s True Vision.
