How to paint self

Painting a self-portrait is one of the most difficult tasks that a painter can create for himself. As your own model, you must sit still while still moving to paint, and sometimes painting in a mirror can be confusing. However, many artists still choose themselves as a subject: you are always there, and therefore always willing and able to sit for a portrait. Many artists find painting the human form to be one of the most interesting and educating trials of painting, and this art can be very rewarding if you set things up properly.
First of all, you must decide what position you will paint yourself in. Some portraits can be finished within a matter of hours. For this sort of portrait, really any pose will do, so long as you are facing a mirror. Many people choose to prop a canvas up next to the bathroom mirror and paint standing up. Other simply attach a hand mirror or shower mirror to their easel and paint just the face. However, for more in-depth portraits, such as full body portraits, it is important to consider that you will not only be holding the pose for a prolonged period of time, but you will also be painting, both of which are tiring activities. A good position to choose is a seated one with the legs extended and a full-length mirror horizontal on the floor. It is easy to stay in this position for a long period of time, and your body will be easily viewed.
Secondly, it is important not to let vanity get in the way. As artists, we are accustomed to scrutinizing every detail of everything we see, but when that detail is a wrinkle on your body, it’s easy to skip over it. Be honest with yourself, and you will be rewarded with a true-to-life portrait.
As with any painting, if you find yourself growing discouraged or frustrated, put away your paints and easel for another day. Turn the picture to the wall so you will not criticize it, and stretch. Remember that both posing and painting are strenuous on the body and the mind: you can become easily tired when it felt as though you were exerting no physical effort at all.
As always, practice makes perfect: if you decide to conquer self-portraits, do not stop at one. there will always be something you wish you had done differently, and a bright new canvas is the perfect place to try again.
