A skill that I used during this project was to use oil paint, I also learned to add colors together on the painting to add a realistic look.  I was inspired to make this painting because I enjoy using different techniques to make food that is often eaten for breakfast for instance, toast can be eaten with many different things. This project turned out just as I hoped, my favorite part was the tomatoes, and my least favorite was the newspaper.

This is my self portrait it was the first project and I worked on it over a span of 9 weeks. The hardest part of this project was the hair, and the easiest part was the mouth. The hair took a lot of time because each individual section needed to have highlights and shadows. The part that I most enjoyed doing was the face because I got to use the different tools to give it texture.
