day 2 all the way through til today.... which is 9th Dec

second


In my favour, I have been looking at a lot of Francis Bacon but his are so much more sculptural, must try again.












third
fourth



a little kinder to myself, and taking away instead of adding is difficult, a whole new way of thinking and looking.









fifth

  I do love doing these,
  looking in the mirror but not at the paper at all.



sixth









seventh


and a bit of colour.





eighth







ninth


eight and nine, I have gone back to what I'm comfortable with but more strangeness will occur.

1 December

A whole new set of self portraits to follow.

1 Dec


This paper was prepared a long time ago, I went through a whole sketchbook just making up pages, and now they're all gone.

So….. I get all the fun of preparing another sketchbook… :)

twentysix all the way to thirty

It has been a busy few days but the portraits have been completed just not posted until now.

twentysixth



I think I look a little grumpy, and if I remember back to Thursday, I wasn't in the mood at all.

twentyseventh

These shadows are getting interesting.








twentyeight



and softening for bit…….


…….but not long, a wee bit colour which has made me want to do a longer self-portrait in pastels.
twentyninth














thirtieth






I had initially intended to draw back into this,
then decided to leave it as is.






...… That's it, I have finished my portrait a day for November, and I've enjoyed it a lot, learnt a lot, in fact it's been a bit of a diary of my moods in some respects. I feel that I've hardly started going out of my comfort zone so I have decided to carry on into December at least until I go away to India and then it'll be all different.
