This self (plus husband) portrait I painted for Joel for a Valentine's Day gift + ... It turned out a lot better than I was expecting, and exactly how I planned it in my head haha... Sweet success! It's sleek, stylish, and sophisticatedly simple... I will apologize that I didn't take any before or during pictures, as to not disturb the people in the recording studio with my pounding feet across the floor... but I'm sure I will probably do another project like this one in the future, and I will be sure to take more action pictures then...
F.Y.I - This was painted on a 16 x 20 plain white canvas ($12 dollars for a 5 pack- whoot whoot!) with dark gray, white, and black acrylic craft paints ($0.33 per bottle on sale) using a sponge brush ($0.04- thats laughable I know) and a few of my high quality brushes (which I bought one at a time with a 50% off coupon since they can be pricey).
Total cost = about $3.50 not including the brushes I had on hand. And a few hours of patience and inhaling noxious paint fumes.
