Okay, it's the first art I've ever done, and it's freehand, without any traces. I've never done anything like this in my life, in fact I've always been more into logical and strategic reasoning than into art.
It would be a portrait of Zeus, I kind of like it, but my family is telling me it sucks. There's more paint than it looks on the canvas because since it was my first time I had to do it over and over again on the same canvas until it was pleasing.
It took many attempts. I titled this painting: "the Face of Power".
It is probably an bad representation, but for me it has value because I put my personal touch, my individual expression, I did not simply take a photo and color it, but what has value for me may not have it for others. And that is right.
In any case my aim was to show love to this God, not to offend him, so I hope the portrait did not come out too strange.
Although what they tell me in my family does not matter since the only "god" they would like me to make a portrait of is that of a certain "messiah" who has been hanging on a cross for 2000 years and still makes statuettes cry in small, remote Italian villages to seek the attention of illiterates (where it then promptly turns out to be all a set-up supported by the town's priest)..
If you like, give me advice on how I could improve...
...for example I think I should be more patient, I don't know how to wait for the paint to dry and by drawing on the still wet paint the colors are absorbed by each other, which is why one eye seems smaller than the other.
