Painting Challenge: Selfie

July 8, 2022 / Diann Zimmerman

Let’s step out of our comfort zone this week and paint a self-portrait. It can be silly, serious, or cartoon-like — let your personality come through! Portraits can be intimidating. So do not try to create a masterpiece… just have fun with it!

Paint a selfie!

Include the topic hashtag in your Watercolor – Beginners and Beyond Facebook group post: #selfie

Deadline July 15, 2022, 11:59 pm ET

I believe these show my personality. I like to laugh, I have a fun sense of humor, I’m silly…. and I don’t care if people laugh at me. I learned that from my mother. She would say, “if people laugh at me, that gives someone else a break.” She had a great attitude.

Have some fun with it! Be silly… Make funny faces… The important thing is to try. 🙂
