Completing my self-portrait seemed like forever ago. I loved the way it turned out in the end, even though it was a few shades darker than my smaller portrait. Painting the portrait was my favorite part of the entire process. I loved blending the colors together to create shadows and lights. Overall, I really enjoyed working with the tempera batik even though, 2 years in a row, I hated the results I got when I first applied it. After working into it with colored pencil though, I began to love it. I actually miss working on it in class.
Abstraction is real, probably more real than nature. I prefer to see with closed eyes. (Josef Albers)
