For artists, self portrait artwork represents the whole artist—in other words, how he sees himself, what he's feeling, and how he wants to be seen by others. It's not necessarily about creating a realistic image of yourself; instead, it's often an exercise in self-exploration.

Is acrylic paint waterproof? If so, why?
Acrylic paint is an oil-based product, so it doesn't contain any waterproofing agents. Therefore, if it has not been sealed, it will lose its color when exposed to water. If you want to protect your acrylic painting, you need to seal it.
