If you were a painter, would you paint a self portrait?

I have done that before already! But, it is far more fun to paint what is in my imagination!

    it would depend if one can stand lookin at him/herself for a long period of time (unless they are going for an abstract look). i have done a self a portrait but i used mainly pencils and charcoals. i always thought painting a self portrait can be cheesy, but i never realized until recently that you can express your emotions or your attitude towards yourself by putting yourself in a picture.

    I AM a painter, and I only paint myself for practice, not because I want to create a masterpeice….I believe in painting other things…more meaningful things.

    Yes, I will. When I paint my own portrait, my mind, body and spirit roll into one. I paint what I see in me– both the inner and outside me–since painting, like any other work of art is an expression of one’s sensibilities. Behold, this is me–the fruit of my labor, my patience, my understanding of myself.

    Yes and no, I paint to see myself the way i see myself in my inner eye.

    Why not…no one know you better than yourself.
    Rembrandt did it…many time.
    Share your feeling, thought and state of mind through your self portrait, and it would be greatly appreciated.

    I’ve tried it and it never worked out right. I am not that good at copying things. Besides I ended up changing details whether I wanted it or not.

    I am, and I might…sure. Most likely something funky, not at all realistic…something that would show some of my facets (mediums, moods etc)..but who has time? I’m up to my whoozit in work.

    I sketched myself once and the result was the most evil looking scowly person I’d ever seen. There is no way I would want that in paint anywhere!
