Mucha-Style Self-Portrait

This painting was created as part of the first assignment for Intermediate Painting, a course I took as an undergraduate student at Juniata College.

The assignment actually consisted of a trio of paintings, all derived from the same reference photo of ourselves, each in the style of a famous painter. This specific painting was intended to mimic the style of Alphonse Mucha.

The still photo below depicts the final illustration; the embedded YouTube video showcases a series of "work-in-progress" photos that I took throughout the creation of the piece.
