Self portrait NR 1 Done with Acrylic paint!

in art •  7 years ago 

Doing a self portrait is not something I like or prefer to do! I don't feel skilled enough to work with faces at all but, I want to learn!
Today I used Acrylic paint because I do most of my work with that! In the coming weeks I will make more of them with other mediums like water color and chalk! 


I refuse to work with shadows and skin colors at this point because... well it's just not my style! Maybe in time when I learn to to faces, eyes and hair better I might feel different! In this case I wanted to create something in multi colors to give it more spicy effect! 


Gosh, to be honest with you all.... I do NOT like the end result. Maybe it's the paint I picked, maybe the colors or maybe even the little circles I felt like adding in the end for some unknown reason! It happens and I am sure that it will happen again! I would like it better when I can say, "Oh look what I made, I love it!" BUT not this time. It's not that I really hate it ... Maybe it's because it's a self portrait? I dunno... I like the picture I used... Hmmmm Interesting! 

Maybe I will like it better when I use a different medium next time!

I don't agree with you this time dear @poeticsnake . That is very nice painting. Maybe you are too tired and can not see what you done there.

OOH dear! Should I hide? (( Laughs))
I am tired yes, that is true..

Last night I tried to write my "Thanks" post about #adoptaminnows.. I was so tired and writing - deleting... it took 3 hours to post it. I can imagine what you see your self work when you are tired. :)

WOW 3 hours!!
I am going to check you post out! :D
Yeah, I really need more sleep BUT steemit is so much fun! :D

I like it! And I wonder.. do artists who really love their own work even exist???
The little circles make it look like pop-art ☺ (wow, does 'pop-art' even exist?? 🤔 The term just popped out of my head! 😆)

LOL! You made me laugh so hard! I needed that! Thank you!
I dunno if they are there but... lol
Most of the time when I look at my work I think... Nah!
Maybe it's just artists? LOL
and yes pop art is real!

I'm totally agree with you. PopArt is real and "One of its aims is to use images of popular (as opposed to elitist) culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschy elements of any culture, most often through the use of irony." Says Wikipedia :)

Well, that's the proof that you made a GOOD painting! 🤗 It opened a drawer in my head that I didn't even know was there anymore 😁

Very good. art painting creative diy life post...I liked your post and liked it and followed

Thank you very much!
It's really appreciated!

@poeticsnake I think a very good paint. Maybe, you expect more from yourself. That is a not traditional paint, but a good paint. Continue doing until you get satisfied about that, because you are the principal subject to agree with yourself.
Upvoted.
Could you read spanish?
Have a nice evening!

Hey hey!
Thank you so so much for your sweet words!
Maybe it's not done YET! That might be it... Maybe I am not satisfied, you might be very right!
:D

I can read spanish a little but not so well!

Be sure. Be happy. Life is short and we should do those things we want to do, we want to do.
Happy evening and a beautiful new day

Much love and respect!

I so admire creative people! What a cool talent to have!

Computer art is as close as I've gotten. It was kind of fun and made me want to explore a creative side!

I do a lot on the computer as well but even most of my digital drawing are hand drawn before I turn them digital.
I will always pick hand drawn over digital but I do love using it... weird... LOL

the use of Acrylic paint is amazing, today I come to know that you are amazing artist along with humble person

good painting,

For you to post something that you might not even like. Tells so much more about what art is all about. I LOVE THAT.. this whole post itself was a little eye opener to me.

In a way I dont think the word wrong could apply to art. You might not like it but there is always people out there that will because of perspective. Thank you for this post! Seriously did more than you think!

Also I got snekked by you on my intro post!! thank you so much for that. You are awesome. I just made my second post and shared some photography on some fisherman In Sri Lanka. Feel free to take a look! Upvoted. Cuz you taught me a lesson to share something that I could create even though I personally might not like it. I hold back a lot, so thanks.

the art was soft, we have to be focus and full of imagination
I know it's hard but I'm sure the results are satisfactory, keep working and entertaining. Thank you for this beautiful story of your struggle.

Is a very Good post I like your blog @poeticsnake

Great art remembers me a little that image from Marilyn Monroe, great job upvoted!

Beautiful work of a beautiful face! :)

We don't have to love everything we create. We just need to realize they're steps on a journey. Done so many portraits of myself that I just hate...but then suddenly I get one I really love. Just remember, you are the only model you'll always have around when you need one ;)

Its a great painting and a great art. I really feel hapy to see your painting. I much appreciated your creativity.
Thanks for sharing great painting.

Stay blessed @poeticsnake !

Iconic and cool were my first thoughts. I imagined an aquatic figure gazing upward. The shapes and lines are elegant. I like the simple way you presented her breasts. Ok ima dude :). But realy the simple lines are very well executed and evocative. Well done darlin.

Wow this is actually pretty good! I look forward to see more of your work and see how you grow. Don't be so hard on yourself! It is good to see where the growth can go, though. Cheers!
