Self Portrait, Copy of a Master

Exercise for class, we were to copy a portrait of a master and put our face in it. It was a lot of fun and i enjoyed trying to replicate the style Picasso painted his in, but it was also difficult implementing my facial structure to the lighting in picasso's portrait. Matching my skin tone to the lighting of Picasso's portrait was also difficult, but it ended up fine.

Impasto Painting, Cherry Pie and Bread

Another class assignment. We were to create an impasto painting of a baked good set up as a still life. Impasto painting is a painting style that involves thickly applied paint where the brush strokes are visible. It was a fun project since I've never done anything Impasto before and I've always wanted to try. Overall, it was a great experience and I learned to work with using the palette knife to apply the paint.
