Self Portrait

My very first self portrait. I watched myself in a mirror and tried to capture my image with watercolors. I struggled so much to work from life and to get a likeness wasn't easy at all. This is the closest I could get although my first layer of paint was too dark and I just continued but had to soften the final picture in my Paintnet program because it looked too harsh when I scanned it. It still doesn't look exactly like me but some of my facial features are there. I will keep on practicing and do another one in a few months. It's really difficult to do a portrait and to capture someones personality and facial expressions but hopefully I will get there some day.
