Let's level up our selfies and create a self-portrait! There is a unique psychological element that takes place when you look into your own eyes and paint your own portrait. Some even say your eyes are the windows to your soul. The real you. And some even say that strange things happen as you paint yourself. It’s a creative process that is a form of self-discovery and realization. Even if this is the first time you’ve picked up a paintbrush in years, creating a self-portrait put you in good company. Most of the great painters throughout history created self-portraits, giving us fantastic glimpses into their lives. Now it's your turn. Share your experience with us on Instagram using @bestselfco. Support the show
