Number ten

tenth

I appear to have mislaid number 11 so will either look harder or redo.
Possibility of it being in my studio at uni which I won't be back to until March.

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.
