Their vibrant red hue against the blue waters of the ocean is what really fascinated me. I went a little anti science with my creative approach on my …

Digital Sketches

I digitally sketched out my plan for an oil or acrylic canvas self-portrait painting. I have done traditional gouache sketch painting, oil painting and graphite on paper sketches to try to illustrate my self-portrait from life.
