Glazed Self Portrait

The concept: paint a self portrait using only two colors - terra verde (green) and white... easy enough...  Then allow the portrait to dry...  Glaze into local color with burnt siena and violet.  That's right - four colors...  I think I prefer the Terra Verde over the final product.  Glazing seems like a perfect way to ruin a painting...
