Drink and Draw #2: Red Wine and Contour Drawing
Event Type: 
Other Event
Wednesday, January 7, 2009 7:00pm - 9:30pm

Last month we experienced the first Drink and Draw at Spudnik. It was a huge success with over 20 people in attendance. The phrase “It feels so great to draw again.” was overheard many times, and we decided to continue the series, which will meet the first Wednesday of every month (save for holidays), and feature a different beverage. We will also rotate the emphasis of the evening’s drawing session, highlighting themes such as gestural drawing, cartoons and comics, self-portraiture, and life drawing. There’s no teacher, and there’s no pretension. more...
