Speed Drawing

Speed Drawing

$10 THURSDAYS

Speed drawing trains participants to capture the character of their partner. It is a new networking event for artists in the community.

As participants check in, they choose desks. Two people site at opposite sides of the desk. At 7 pm, anyone who doesn’t have a partner will be assigned one by the host.

Once the session begins, half the artists draw the person across the table from them, and half pose for 10 or 20 minutes. They are encouraged to get to know each other in the process. When the the time is up, partners will switch who draws and who poses.

When both people have drawn, one artist moves to the right, and one stays where they are.

Think of “Speed Dating” and you’ll get an idea of where the name comes from.

All events subject to change.
