Self Portrait
Here is one I started today. So far I have about an hour and half into it. I started with a rough drawing and then worked it in acrylic. Now I am moving into oils.

New painting
This is a new canvas I just finished building to make ready for a new painting I will be starting. The process is as follows; I cut and build all of my own stretcher bars and prime raw canvas. The priming process includes putting down a coat of rabbit skin glue then several light layers of gesso. I like the building process plus it allows me to control the surface I desire. The size is 40"x 45".

Little progress on step by step
OK here is an updated version. I got to work on it for a little while today. As you can see I moved the hat over my ear and worked the face a bit.
First of this is a bad picture. I wanted to throw something up with the progress. I will take a better shot tomorrows progress.I only worked on this a total of a couple of hours today.
At this point I bounce around the painting working on it as a whole rather then individual pieces.

Step by step
I have been working on this today for about an hr. Here is where it stands. I added a hat and have been concentrating on the area around the eyes mostly. As i continue to work on this I will keep adding to this post.
Starting to add color. Here I keep working the drawing as I go.
A little further along.
OK here is what I am working on right now. I am working from life looking at a mirror. So far at this point I have about 5 minutes into this. I work with burnt umber and ultramarine blue. As I start to lay in my darks I will take pictures and post as I go.
