I participated in two portrait challenges from Brooklyn Art Library—the 14 Day Portrait Challenge and 7 Day Heroes Challenge. Following the daily email prompts, I created portraits of various people, working with different art techniques and supplies.
Artists from around the word could participate and share their work with #bal_portraits.
