Internationally collected artist, Liz van der Werff creates portraits in oils, pastels, watercolor and acrylic -

Thank you so much for visiting, I haven't ever taken the time to do a real self-portrait. The drawings on this page are just quick studies. A full oil portrait takes 20-50 hours or more. These took only 1/2 hour or so. I don't like to stare at myself too much longer than that! <grin>

Pencil Sketch from Photo

Done on bristol board, if I recall correctly.

Self-Portrait Sketch
1995 (?)

Pencil sketch from life - about 1995 or thereabouts

Pencil Sketch from Life 1999?

I really like the crazed look in my eyes!!
Probably a look my sons saw on many occasions <grin>

Thanks for visiting my site!!

- Liz
