A digital abstract live portrait drawing by Chalice Meikle. The artwork depicts the abstract profile of a young woman against a deep, slightly dusty purple background. Blocks of neon pink serve as highlights, while marks resembling pencil and round brush strokes fill in the rest of the face, creating shadow-like effects.

Our schedule goes as follows

A group of painters sit down at portraits in progress while studying a live model. A painter sits with their back to the camera. They are painting a women’s face with a flower headdress over an amber underpainting. They paint with their right hand while referencing a photo on their phone in their left hand.
