Drink and Draw: Experience Not Required
August 18, 2009
My sketch from the NYC Drink and Draw Event at 3rd Ward
Experience not required. PBR’s and Chex Mix were served. Ten bucks (when you bring a friend) included eclectic music and a nude model. It’s the best way to get your perspective back in focus.
The Drink and Draw at 3rd Ward Design Center in Williamsburg, NYC was an ideal way for my friends and me to dip back into the drawing groove.
My sketch above was not actually our “model”, but the 3rd Ward artist posed for our group while we were waiting for the actual model to show. Train delays.
The event concept is clever, and I’m looking into other open art opportunities in the city. Do you know of anything? If not, start one. I’ll go.

Houston has a free weekly newspaper – called the Houston Press, which drops on either Wednesday or Thursday. It contains a week-long list of activities, mostly focusing on the arts.
I hope NY has something like that for you to check out.
I never did learn how to sketch. My one great failing… I can’t draw to save my own life.

It’s never too late to sketch. I know of a few people that started in their 50′s and 60′s. Everyone’s got their own style. Develop it.
