Mid Term Reflection

This year my large painting of two faces has been most challenging. this is the first time that i am painting an entire face, let alone two. faces in general are hard to paint and these ones are really big and at an awkward angle.I am progressing in my color mixing this shows in the noses of the people. I also have to spend time observing areas on my face in a mirror and in a picture. this is helping me improve on my observation skills. This improvement is shown in the proportions of The people and their body positions.
Today we can use techniques that were discovered and used my earlier artist and build upon them. In my painting i had to look at Renaissance looking paintings to figure out how to create a nose. it is important to appreciate the work that they did.
