Portrait Sketch Competition Kicks Off!

And so it begins... the competitors are at their easels, the model on his stand, and the timer ticking. The fast-paced nature of the quick sketch, coupled with the competitive factor of the event, could make the room a stressful space -- fortunately, we have a group of wise-cracking artists from around the US that keep the energy high.
