【Surprise Portrait Drawing】
During the Renaissance, Venetian painters used vibrant colours and painted lifelike portraits with defined layers of oil paint. Every portrait reflects people’s inner beauty at the time, as well as the love and beliefs they cherished. Portrait paintings have always spoken of much more than physical appearances.

Illustrator Moving Drawing likes to wander the city and create sketches to capture people’s emotions. With the use of simple lines, she gently encapulates a specific moment. At the “Surprise Portrait Drawing”, she will be at the exhibition gallery, randomly selecting visitors to commemorate a touching moment for that special “you” while appreciating art at the HKMoA. Please mark your calendar to visit the exhibition, as everyone has a chance to become the lucky one chosen to be the subject of her sketch and receive such a portrait drawing on the spot as a souvenir.
