today I made a start on the self portrait I wanted to do for the hauntology project. as I have decided to make this painting in grayscale I started adding layers onto the canvas however because the image is ultra blurred I wasnt able to get the shading/tones right and the portrait didnt come out great, i didnt give up and started again but it still didnt turn out the way I had imagined. I have now decided to created the same portrait onto paper using pencil (as this is my strongest point) or to paint and eye showing the cut I got above my eyebrow, this will show the story/reason behind the painting as well as showing my skill in painting eyes. I might use my eye picture from today as I dont have a high quality one of when I was the age I got hurt. I am still planning and deciding but overall im not happy with the painting so I want to adjust my plans and ideas.
