Description of My Portrait

Portrait of Me

recreated by Josh

My portrait is in the style of Vincent Van Gogh using pastels. The colors you need are green, white, blue, orange, pink, and peach. Use 11 by 17 inch paper, positioned vertically. The neck is one third of the paper's length. The arms are stretched out at an angle. From the neck to the top of the head is one third the length of the paper ,and one third the width. The mouth is about two inches wide. The nose looks like a straight line down with two curves at the bottom. The eyes are black. The t-shirt is colored with green and pink mixed together. The Short hair on the head is also black. The face is peach with red tones. The lip color is red and white lines. The ears are peach and black. The background is red, blue, orange, and green wavy lines mixed with some white.

Analysis

by Jonathan

The face worked well because the color was right and everything was in the right place.

The background did not work well. I should have said red, blue, white, green, and orange lines going straight across, and smushed together. The picture also had a short-sleeved shirt instead of a long shirt. I should have said the picture had a long sleeved shirt going all the way down to the bottom of the paper. I also should have said the neck was the same color of the face.
