Derek DeYoung
and Chuck Close
I chose these two self-portraits because of their differences. I wanted to choose different portraits so that I might have more to learn when beginning my own. I picked DeYoung because of his amazing color use and almost caricature appearance. I liked how he painted an amazing self portrait yet added his own twist to it. Moreover, I chose Close's portrait because of its realistic nature. It gives you a certain emotion the moment you look at it. Without using color, Close created a very detailed, very naturalistic portrait. He also did not include a background or any other objects in his portrait except for himeself. I think I will take aspects from both when designing my self portrait.
