I. Self Portrait Painting – (Black & White)

-On my first project, I painted a self-portrait with white and black colors by looking at myself in the mirror. I used Burnt Sienne and Ultramarine Blue to create black.

II. Cubistic Portrait

-This art is called a cubistic portrait, where I just brought some broken parts together into a portrait. I could also put in something that we like, for example, flowers or mountains. I added red, red-orange, and red-violet to my portrait. This project was fun. It felt like therapy. And for me, my favorite part of this portrait was the face at the bottom left.

III. Admiration Portrait

-The next assignment was to choose an artist from a PowerPoint and paint it in their style. I had chosen Alex Katz. I really loved his style. His style is more simple but still says a lot. And he mostly paints his wife, which I think is so cute. I enjoyed it.
