Timelapse of a self portrait painting in oil on paper.

Hello, this painting is a self portrait(in case you wondered what I look like) which was painted using water soluble oil paints on Strathmore canvas paper. It’s about A3 in size or 29 x 42cm. As it was a dark self portrait with a lot of shadow I spent a lot of time trying to get the transition right to the brighter areas. I also ended up repainting the eyes a few times to get the position correct. Not my favorite painting but fun and interesting to do. Hope you enjoy.
