I started out and end with just streaks and drips of acrylic paint on the last studio day with no idea what else to do with it. I also had done the painting on a scrap of mat board I repainted black so it began to warp as I added more paint to it. I began working on the face towards the end of class and decided to take it home to try and clean it up. When I got it home I added more mixed colors in the background before added much warmer brown colors to the face. I also added more contrast to the face and put a highlight around where the shoulders would have been.
I then blended the streaks of paint into the face and called it a day, put the painting down stairs so I would not leave it. Then I got to school and realized I had left it on the critique day and had to call my mom.
