The Portrait Challenge
Members of the Portrait Group are taking it in turns to suggest topics to keep our hand in during this period when we can't enjoy our weekly meetings with a model to observe.

List of challenges so far:
  1. Someone in the kitchen
  2. Hand Studies
  3. Self portrait in a small mirror
  4. Smiley Face
  5. Ear study​
  6. ​Curled up with a book
  7. Back to basics, this time! Draw a self portrait using only a biro and one continuous line.Here's a great example to get you going.
  8. White on Black. Portrait or SP using white on Black paper.
  9. ​Draw a portrait, photograph it, then cut it up in to equal sized chunks, mix them up to create an abstract
  10. Portrait as Child You are challenged to make a portrait of yourself as a child and, if you send them to me, I will put them on the Facebook page with no name attached. Let's see who hasn't changed much over the years and make it a guessing game (the black and white portraits will give the age away though)
    ​
  11. Portrait En Plein Air
  12. ​A Portrait from behind in a medium you are not familiar with.
