Did not take any pictures of the transparent Bron oil painting and the opaque brown oil painting.

For my self portrait I will be painting this school picture I had taken while in middle school.

These are the brush strokes I will be using because I want to be able to paint with precision especially when it comes to the eyes and nose mouth area I want to be able to draw these with great detail

These are the colors I will be using. I will be mixing the Portriat Pink along with the Burnt Sienna with a dab of red and Brilliant Magenta and Bronze to create a color for the lips because I couldnt find a color that could match it. I’m interested to see how the mixture will turn out.

On August’s 30th 1919 the events Red Summer caused a teenage Beauford to harbor dreams of a a retreat out of the south.

In the meantime he illustrated those dreams with a paint brush and his canvas

He begins to the peak the interests of the many patrons excited about his work. The Impressionist Lloyd Bransson takes him Beauford under his wing and in 1923 Bransson funded Beaufors move to Boston Massachusetts. Beauford will go on to be remembered as a modernist painter for his work in respects to the Harlem Renaissance in the 1930s and 1940s as well as his latest works in abstract expressionism in the 1950s following his move to Paris where he passed away in 1979.
