Self-Portrait, 2007

Self Portrait

Mixed media

11" X 8 1/2"

I made this self portrait as a demonstration piece in 2007, when I was teaching portraiture to a class of 5th graders. I intended to illustrate the use of diagramatical lines in the planning of the drawing. These I made on white paper, in red-brown conte crayon. The descriptive drawing lines are layed in black marker on a clear acetate sheet affixed to the paper.
