Time for a new self portrait, this time as part of additional work through the Watts Atelier called a Skill Building Challenge.
This particular challenge was titled Skill Building Challenge Cycle 8- Utilizing Custom Reference in Portraiture and was completed in charcoal on newsprint over 4 weeks with submission stages of
- Rhythmic Abstraction
- Lay-In
- Shadow Mapping
- Bring up to finished piece
The skills I’ve been picking up though the Atelier have been great although with so much to absorb, these skill cycles force you to go back and reaffirm some of the lessons previously learned.
