This month’s group art show was inspired by the United Kingdom’s 2020 Portrait Artist of the Year series that you can view on YouTube. The series features nine artists, both professional and amateur, to paint a portrait of a celebrity in a four-hour sitting. The most interesting aspect of the competition was the vast array of styles and mediums the artists used to capture the essence of their celebrity. Styles included realistic, abstract, impressionistic, caricature, surreal, pop, and simple outlines. Mediums included oil, acrylic, watercolor, colored pencil, graphic, pastel, and ink.
Members of the Port Ludlow Art League will use a variety of mediums to translate their interpretation of portraits for the January online art show.
If you’d like to purchase any of the artwork, please email info@portludlowart.org to make a sales appointment with the artist.
