Self-Portrait

This is a small canvas I am currently painting. It is on a 24 x 16 cm stretched canvas, and is done in acrylics, so far. I may finish it in oils, with which I am less familiar. People keep telling me "you should really try oils...", so ordered a selection of alkyd (faster drying) oils, which I have yet to try.
Off my easel
This painting is one the ones I am working on. I have put it aside for a few days while I practice (self) portraits from life to improve my live drawing.
The tentative title is "Promenade automne"
It is an acrylic on canvas 60 cm x 80 cm.
Here is a detail to get an idea of the texture
