Self Portrait #3, 8 x 6Here's the value study. Being able to focus just on lights and darks and putting them where they belong made a big difference. It was completed within the ninety-minute time frame, and the likeness is easily the most accurate of the three, though the brush strokes feel loose and free.
This process was really helpful for me. The best thing is, the series is done and I don't have to stare at myself for hours, anymore!

Very dramatic and to be completed in 90 minutes is awesome.
