Memorable Masterpieces

Let’s brush up on some more ideas that will make your portrait-painting experiences even more colorful than a Picasso masterpiece.

Technique Time

  • Blind Contour Challenge: For a fun warm-up, do a few rounds of blind contour drawing (looking only at the photo, not your paper) to loosen up drawing styles.
  • Mixed Media: Encourage using not just pencils, but crayons, markers, watercolors, or even collage elements.
  • Memory Prompts: Beside each photo, write down a few words or a memory for inspiration. Does the photo remind you of a fun day or a shared joke?

Go Beyond

  • Artist Interviews: Take turns asking each other questions about their portrait choices and styles.
  • Frame It: Choose simple frames to elevate the portraits. Consider making these a yearly tradition!
  • Family Art Book: Compile the portraits each year with notes about the occasion and have a growing family art book to treasure.
