Artist's Comments
So this is a piece from my Concentration AP portfolio. The instruction was to make a self portrait, and it didn't matter in what media... so I decided, "hey I've never used oil paints before... and lots of famous artists (correction: ALL ARTISTS) use it... so maybe I should give it a go"
Well it turned out it wasn't that easy... oils are quite exhausting to deal with, especially with all the extra goodies you need to use. Most of the time I was thinking, "why doesn't this bloody canvas dry?!"... and at times other than that, I was probably high from the fumes.

 reports, 1d 20h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community. |
