This self-portrait is simply amazing. To me, it says 'I am an artist, and I am here to make the world a more beautiful place'. It has clarity, originality, technique and impact. It's very hard to pick holes in this!
To me the most incredible thing about the painting for me is the detail, shading and texturing on the jacket. The creases are so lifelike and natural, and the seams are very well-defined.
The face is well-defined, and the features are obvious, even when side-on. The ear looks a little unreal, as the hand, but the rest of the face looks almost picture-perfect!
The brush is just a little off, as the bristles are just too white, but that can be overlooked!
The bubbles are the real highlight of the painting. They are screamingly accurate! (don't believe me? Take a close look at real bubbles!) The coloured shines on the bubbles probably to days of sketching, drafting and experimenting. Furthermore, two bubbles overlay each other - really impressive! The sheen on the bubble touching the brush is not quite there - it could have done with an extra layer of orange.
Nonetheless, a stunning self-portrait which, I'm pretty sure, some artists would do anything for! Truly incredible, and excellent work!
