Self Portrait 9" x 12", Mixed Media
Hello! This is my first self-portrait. LOL! It's also an exercise from Misty Mawn's new class. It is the first week and I am over the moon about how awesome this class is.
Without revealing too much of the content, we were to study an artist whose work has influenced us. I chose Egon Schiele. We were to replicate one work of theirs to the best of our ability and then do a self-portrait in that artist's style.
Self Portrait by Egon Schiele
Here was my attempt at this. SO incredibly hard to draw those hands!!
I loved really studying his work and trying to capture every line. So much learned from just this one exercise.
I am probably going to make a change in my blog header soon... ;)
Linking this to Paint Party Friday and Art Journal Journey. Have a great weekend everybody!
I am also working on a new wolf painting and tons of other things. Stay tuned...

Oh wow, I'm in love with that self-portrait ..... Gorgeous. Love the clean lines and the limited use of colour. And I think you did a great job on the hands in your replica piece!
What a great exercise and I love what YOU did with it ~ great self portrait!
Your self portrait is clean, clear and fabulous! Love the style of it. Don't worry about the hands, they are looking good to me. Happy PPF

Pam I love him too and Klimt something about the simplicity of line.....
Very original poses of the figures that you draw. Saludos
Great self portrait and I think you're capturing the spirit of Egon Schiele's work. Hands are difficult for everyone, I think. Yours are very expressive. Thanks for sharing your work!

You are a quick study, that's for sure! Your self portrait is really good. I think the hands on the copy exercise are also good. Hey, when you're good, you're good. You are good!
Thank you all so much for your comments! Big Hugs!
