February 2008 Painting Project: Expressive Self-Portraits

Challenge yourself with this painting project.

By , About.com Guide

The aim of this this painting project to create a self-portrait in an expressive style (rather than a realistic or photographic style) or a self-portrait showing a strong facial expression. The reason for doing a self-portrait rather than a portrait of someone else is because you can study your facial features for as long and as close as you wish without having to consider the model.

Read the project instructions, then get painting!
