Drawn Together Portrait Night
Bring your partner, spouse, best friend, or relative and join us for an evening of creative exploration and laughter as you dive into the world of portraiture! In this fun, relaxed event, you’ll learn the essentials of drawing facial features and proportions and explore expressive use of color in Impressionist and Expressionist styles.
The evening kicks off with a 30-minute Portraiture 101 lesson led by talented artist and visual arts educator John Tedeschi. Using chalk pastels, you’ll learn to bring faces to life, taking inspiration from classic techniques and a fresh, vibrant color palette.
Once you’ve practiced, it’s time to create unique portraits of one another, with a big reveal at the end of the night! We encourage you to take risks, let loose, and above all, have fun—this is a judgment-free zone designed for laughter, experimentation, and creativity.
To make it an even more enjoyable evening, wine, beer, and a selection of drinks will be available. Whether you’re an experienced artist or picking up chalk pastels for the first time, join us for an unforgettable night filled with color, creativity, and camaraderie. The UNITED will provide the supplies.
