This is my third and final attempt at the concept.
I felt my husband's idea is too beautiful for me to not do it full justice.

And I am finally (somewhat) satisfied with this rendition.

The original idea was for me to paint over a photograph my husband wanted to take of me.
Which he is still going to do, however I wanted to better my hand at self-portraiture.
It is quite a strange experience, to be staring at my own face all day long...

Anyway, thank you for looking :)

:heart:

Thank you :) I was really debating on whether or not to add the textures at the end, however my husband convinced me that it adds more life. She looked kind of dead to begin with with really pale white skin :giggle:

This is wonderful! I love that it seems simple, but is so detailed at the same time. The textures really add to it. :)

I love the way how you added the crumbled texture to her face. Looks awesome and the rose on her eye is something I've never seen. Beautiful composition :nod:
