This is the first time I followed the Great Master's technique of doing a light to the touch under painting.  I chose burnt umber.  What this did for me was provide me with my midtones in the painting and I did not have to worry about painting in all the laugh lines or midtones areas!  Its a wonderful technique that you (if you are a painter) should try. 

Some viewers have commented on how I painted my frameless glasses - I viewed many famous artists work to see how others painted frameless glasses.  I found a painting by John Singer Sargent (amazing artist by the way) and followed his style of just slightly showing an indication that the frameless glasses are there.  I loved the technique and will use it again.

Every class I take requires that we do one self portrait.  So here is one I chose.

Self Portrait - Graphite Pencil

Doing the workbook for "Drawing On 

The Right Side of the Brain"

Very first exercise is to look at yourself in front of a mirror and draw your own self portrait in 30 minutes.  

So here's mine.  

I can hardly wait to complete this workbook and then do another self portrait for comparison purposes!  That should be interesting!
