For this project the focus was on using traditional materials and to choose an artist for inspiration. I could'nt really settle on an artist and went more for a style. I used acrylics and found it quite hard. however i think i learnt a lot from this experience and would like to try more traditional painting.

I then did a photoshop version and really pushed the contrast. there are some parts of the picture i think are particulary successfull. i like the top half of the face and am happy with the eyes.
