Humans are fascinating. When captured by a talented artist, a portrait can convey a person’s essence, emotion at the time, their nature, and more.
A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer.
Submit your portrait photograph, along with a description of why you chose to capture this person through art, who they are to you, and what you’re conveying through your piece for the chance to win $200 to Blick Art Supply.
