Over the past few weeks me and my class have been making portraits, the steps to make this were confusing but necessary to make it so realistic and different. In this post I will tell you how to copy the steps and get a portrait like this.

| My finished project |
Here are the steps:
1. Find a board that you want to paint on and cover it in newspaper, lots of small bits is better than a few big bits.
For this step it takes its time but helps the paint stick so it is necessary.
2. When your glueing on newspaper you have to find 5 to 10 words and glue them on top of the news paper.
The reason for this is that you will always know that these words are inside of you even tho the paint will cover them up.
3. Now you cover up your newspaper with paint making it unique and your own.
For this step I did swirls with different colour schemes making it my own and different.
4. Next you grab your photo and cover the other side of the paper in black pastel. After you finish the pastel you place your photo onto the board and draw over the photo lines.

With this you can practice on a random paper but then you do it on your board and you start to see your face.
5. Finally you paint over the pencil lines with black paint, and paint the background white adding in shapes if you want.
This part you picture really comes to life and you can be proud of your finished product.
For me something that went well was when i finished and i could see all the steps come together and make my potrait.
The most challenging part was painting the lines straight, i had a really shaky hand so this was hard.
