Portrait Party Challenge

We’ve been working on the prompts for the Artist in Residence Co-op Portrait Party Air Badge Challenge in Drawing Faces classes. We’ve finally got enough to submit for the badge. Here are all the drawings I’ve made for this challenge both in and outside class.

Vic

To mask or not to mask? I used masking fluid (which I don’t often use) to block out the light areas for this painting but ended up with very hard paint edges that I really don’t like. I also got a bit lost with the hair. I paint so rarely these days that I feel like I’ve lost a lot of my skills. Guess that means I need to paint more.

Rhayane

Hugh

I like to know the names of people I draw, even though I’m usually drawing from a photo on the Sktchy app. This is usually fine because people mostly post selfies. But people do also post photos of friends and family and they don’t always add the person’s name in the caption. So in these cases I invent a name.

The inspiration photo for this portrait was posted by Laura and I’m guessing that this person is her partner (but I could be wrong). A way she didn’t note his name so I’ve invented the name Hugh for him. Say hello to the anonymous guy I’ve christened Hugh!

Elle
