Description "I'm painting a painting of a painter painting with paint."

The word "paint" has just lost meaning to me. XD

Whoo! I finally finished it~ My first real painting.

Last grade, I decided to take a painting class. There's not too many good art classes in middle school, but I thought that it sounded good.

I worked really hard, with this being the only project of the class, and even with working on it over the weekends I couldn't finish it. I worked hard over summer, but the only place I can paint is by a window, and that made my brain melt. So, recently I thought, I'm going to finish it! And I did. 8D

I'm not posting the picture I used as reference, because I used a copy different ones and combined them together. Bad idea, I know, but at first I had a really bad quality picture, and it wasn't until I was far into it that I found a better one. You can google her name and you should find something, this is a self portrait of her.

Oh, by the way, the painting got wrinkly from sitting in the sun. Drat.

I'll probably made some edits to it one day. After all, an artist's piece is never finished, it only stops being worked on.

Thanks! Well, remember that I procrastinated on this to the point that I finished it in a whole different school year. XD

The camera quality of this picture is kinda' fuzzy, but I am still mystified by her front sleeve anyway.

I didn't notice it was fuzzy until you said that... maybe my sister's camera has better quality. I'll try it out later. Aw, thanks! ^^

The sleeve really looks great, you brough the light in it out so well, everything else ended up looking somewhat faded. I have no idea what the original looks like, so I can't compare. You did a marvelous job on this!
