Hello and good new week to you all!
First off, let me just say thank you all SO much for your incredible response to my last post!

It is so encouraging to see all of you liking my paintings enough to entrust me to paint your faces, hehe!
I appreciate all of you who took the time to send me your photos and I've already started to paint a couple of the submissions. (!)
I had a few of you saying how you wanted to get your portrait painted but were too shy to share it in the comment section so I thought I would write an update post. Listen, I understand submitting a photo can be a bit scary, especially if you still haven't posted one on your blog and prefer to be a bit more anonymous.
Well, I'm here to tell you that if you really want a portrait but don't want anyone seeing your photo that's ok too!
You can send me the phot in a private message on the steem chat, or DM me on facebook or instagram.

If you do I will of course not include your photo in my blog post either.
Just to give a quick recap of what the rules are to submit a photo to this project;
Simple rules that qualifies a photo to be painted;
Take the photo without flash.
Take the photo in eye level, meaning no photos from high or low angles.
Preferably the lightsource is natural light / daylight.
The photo needs a monochrome background. Any color will do.
No smiling with theeth. ( I hate painting teeth!)
The photo needs to be of a high resolution quality.
If you send me a photo and let me paint it you give me the right to use your photography to create, sell and reproduce my own artistic expression!
To give you an idea of the style and way I usually paint my portraits here I've gathered up some examples for you;
