Warped Self Portrait

Warped Self Portrait

Explore portrait art with a twist- literally! In this vibrant creative experience led by Sarah, you'll use Smart Trace with the Drag feature to draw a warped portrait, and then use watercolor pencils to bring this abstract version of yourself to life. This experience is designed for you to use your own selfie photo, but we've also uploaded a couple of practice photos in the gallery if you’d like to try those first. No prior experience is needed—just bring your creativity and let’s make something amazing!
