Pieter Lategan Title: Self Portrait 2020 March


Medium: A4 Paper, Pencil HB, B2

This is a self-portrait of my self.  I took this picture one morning early in 2018.  I remember I did not sleep that night.

So a little about me, I matriculated at Erasmus High School in Bronkhorstspruit in Gauteng.  I left and work as a clerk at the Department of Education and Training.  This was in the apartheid time, the black people had their own school department.  After that, I went to the army and went to study teaching.  My main subject was art. 

So what do I think about my work?

The left-hand side looks a bit out of the portion.  I struggle with my nose but I think the eyes are ok, but also there can be more work spending.  I personally feel I am not ready to do portraits for people.  This is my thought to draw people at the end and paint them.  Practice practice is the keyword.

Listen to the news on Facebook about politics and the coronavirus.
