Drink & Draw: Fantasy Edition (Richmond, VA)
About this Event
Hear ye, hear ye, all creatives, artists, and sketchers ….we are delighted to resurrect RVA DRINK & DRAW for a special one night only event! As part of the Dragon Fire Tavern art pop-up in July, a month of exciting fantasy-based 21+ events, RVA DRINK & DRAW is an alternative themed live model drawing event for artists of all skill levels, hosted by local professional artist and goblin, Brit Austin Art!
Roll for Initiative and get ready to draw our renaissance model of many talents, titles, and tales, Chiara Scuro as she ignites the creative flame under those wings! The poses will be fire and we promise it won’t drag-on.
There will be plenty of breaks to grab a spirit at BLACK IRIS’ bar with an assortment of beer, wine, mixed drinks, NA options along wit themed drink specials!
Admission to this 21+ event includes art materials and basic drawing demonstration! Supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your own as well!
Want to attend but don't feel like you can draw a stick figure? No worries! This inclusive space is welcome and encouraging to all folks who want to draw, haven't picked up a pencil in 90 years, doodle in their dreams, or are just plain curious.
Expect this kind of drawing session to be a bit different from others; while it will be filled with artistic education, it will also have a cozy, friendly atmosphere with the occasional punderful dad joke from our host.
