Cao//Self-Portrait





These are the first two portraits in a series I intend to elaborate upon. The idea right now is that each portrait is done in a very short amount of time in a contour style. The first drawing I do, directly on the surface of whatever material I'm working with, I either scrap or print. The title consists of the subject, exact time finished, date and location. The top print is of Gonzalo Cao, the painting teacher I had in Spain. The bottom was the first ever done and is a self portrait. These are artist proofs. I will hold off on running true series of them until I return to the Untied States where I will have a more secure place for them.
