Es Devlin’s ‘A National Portrait’ for the National Portrait Gallery

To accompany this work, we encourage everyone to ‘leave traces’ of their encounters with one another through the physical drawing process, as portrait artists have always done. There will be a free drawing event at the National Portrait Gallery on 14 May, along with a number of workshops taking place during the period the work is displayed. For those who cannot visit the Gallery in person, we have a step-by-step drawing class on Google Arts and Culture, available to everyone across the UK.
