Prompt

Summer is the perfect time to get together with friends, family, and the people closest to you. In that same spirit, we’re teaming up with professional artist, instructor, and founder of the Hein Atelier, Jeff Hein to challenge you to create a naturalistic group portrait featuring two or more people involved in a creative narrative, design, or environment. Jeff will be judging portraits based on likeness, creativity, design, craftsmanship, and overall uniqueness.

Jeff will be judging entries live on the Vision X Live website as part of the Vision X global art conference. Vision X is an annual virtual art conference featuring artists from all around the world. The conference is full of opportunities to learn from top artists through keynotes, demos, and live interactions.

Be sure to check back for more information regarding the date, time, and stream information.

Medium: Any medium, digital or traditional, is welcome.

Challenge is open to all participants 13 and older.

Sponsored by Wacom, Sentient Academy,  Vision X Live Conference,  Canvy and Proko.
