The project that has just been completed is the face painting portrait. The portrait looks and is of me. The media used is water colors. One new skill I learned for this project is when you are painting with water colors or painting anything at all is to always use bright colors first then put the darker colors on later. This allows a better flow of the colors and painting to go together better. Some art elements used are balance contrast and emphasis. Similar to my self portrait drawing, the facial expression of my face is a stoic calm look. this project was important because I learned new skills that relate to face painting
