I’ve been wanting to capture pictures of people for most of the time I’ve been practicing art (since 2018). I’ve practiced sketching, use of color, and finally watercolor. I’ve enjoyed learning and practicing all the different techniques. Periodically, I’d practice some facial features in graphite. I’ve done a few graphite sketches of people. But before doing any more portrait work, if felt it was only fair to do my own.
Anna Mason challenged her students to try painting a self portrait. I know the value of doing a graphite sketch before a watercolor painting. It’s a great way to study the details before using paint that can not be erased.
My greatest desire in sharing my art is that those who see it are encouraged to use any of their talents to share their faith in our Creator God!
