SELF-PORTRAIT DRAWING
Andy
Warhol once said that the day would come when we would all be famous for
15 minutes. Using the examples set by Vincent van Gogh and Rembrandt
van Rijn paint a self-portrait of yourself as you would want to be remembered.
Closely study the techniques, attitude and brushstrokes of the two artists
that painted the most self-portraits of any other famous artists.
