var underlyingImg;

function preload() {
    var imgURL = "https://i.imgur.com/25HDnhA.jpg";
    underlyingImg = loadImage(imgURL);
}
function setup() {
    createCanvas(270, 480);
    background(255);
    underlyingImg.loadPixels();
    frameRate(60);
}

function draw() {
    var x = random(width);
    var y = random(height);
    var px = constrain(floor(x), 0, width-1);
    var py = constrain(floor(y), 0, height-1);
    var theColorAtLocationXY = underlyingImg.get(px, py);

    noStroke();
    fill(theColorAtLocationXY);
    rect(x, y, 20, 10);
}

For the portrait, I used my friend’s face. I kept playing around with the style of points being drawn, but I decided on a long rectangle because it reminded me of actual old paintings; in addition, the slight obscurity of his face made it look less boring. I also set the frame-rate to be higher so it paints the portrait faster.
