Join us for a fun night of drawing with our friends…soft pastels and booze. Soft pastels are a buttery delight to work with. Never worked with soft pastels before, no problem. Artist Kico Le Strange will be your soft pastel guru guide. nAlready a pro, that’s fantastic, come chill and draw with us. We will supply all the art materials: paper, soft pastels, blending stumps, pencils, erasers, and fixative. All concepts are welcome, from abstract to realism to just playing with the medium. Bring a homie, the more the merrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
