DRINK AND DRAW!
Wednesday, January 7, 2009
7:00-9:30pm
Featured Drink: Red Wine

@Spudnik Press
1821 W Hubbard, Suite 308
Chicago, IL 60622

Last week 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.

January’s Drink and Draw will focus on Red Wine and contour drawing. We will provide some pencils, charcoal, and a still life, and (this time around), a variety of Red Wines. You bring a sketchbook and enjoy drawing in the company of others.

$5 suggested donation.

    I’m working on my website. Do I have to take any of your courses in order to join your drawing sessions? I’m an artist. I work in oils, acrylics, watercolors plus mixed media. I also took a class on lithography using a stone. I might be taken your class using a better method.
    thank you,

    In response to Yogi, Drink and Draw is open to ANYONE, and EVERYONE. Half of the point is that there is no pretension, possibly, hopefully, making it a place were people can come to feel good about meeting other people who like to draw, and either starting a new healthy habit of drawing, or picking up an old habit, or if you’re really on top of stuff, continuing a habit you already have.

    Last time, I think the majority of people didn’t know the majority of people. So don’t worry if you’ve never been to Spudnik, or haven’t printed, or even if you aren’t into printing. Because Spudnik may push print making 29 days out of 30, but Drink and Draw is all about the drawing.
