Self portarait

The first ever project i got set as an art student. and not really my favorite although i am quite pleased with the outcome..

 the plan i imagined from the start.
 Experimenting. oil paints on black sugar paper.


















The final piece :)
an image of my face being drawn by my hand is done in indian inks and pencil wheras in the background a bright yellow serpentine shape to show my fav colour (yellow) and my past (animal management course/my love of snakes and reptiles) the blue is purely to make the yellow stand out and to provide a colourfull contrast to the inks also.
