Monthly Self Portraits: March


I don't usually dress up special for my monthly self portraits. However, this month, I combined my March self portrait with my Wet Paint Weekly Workout. The assignment was to create a colorful self portrait inspired by the artwork of Frida Kahlo. So, I put on this fun dress, a head scarf and a little lipstick and started drawing. Also, I normally only spend up to an hour on my monthly self portrait and my workout, but it's been awhile since I've used oil pastels and I forgot how much I love them. I got lost in this piece and the next thing I knew three hours had passed.  As much as I love using markers and paints, I really think that oil pastels are my medium. They just come so naturally to me.
