pixilated portrait

15x27cm

For this proyect we were asked to choose any picture and print it out. Once it was printed we divided it into 1cm squares. In class we learned how to mix all the colors there were in the square of the picture and turn it into a solid color, and that's what we had to do for every square. For this project we used oil pastels as they are easier to blend in with other colors because of the oil, this would have been more difficult if we had used a different material such as chalk pastels because they dont have oil so its harder to blend. I also used a tortillian to help me blend it in.

I chose this picture of myself because I thought it had a pretty good color range and it had darker and lighter colors and also shades. This selfie was taken the last day day I was in Spain so it brings me back memories from that day so that's why I picked it.
