This is a self portrait painting using watercolor. One new skill was using complementary colors to make the image stand out more. The main art elements used were value and color. Value helped define edges and were used to differentiate the shades and highlights instead of using solid line. Color is tied in with value, as I'm using darker and lighter shades of color in order to create the shade and effect that makes the fact look more round rather than flat. This is a still painting that doesn't really create a mood but rather is like a picture of what I look like.
