WEDNESDAY, JULY 13 AT 6PM Drink and Draw TANYA RYND - COLOR EXPLOSION: LEARN TO DRAW PEOPLE

Participants will learn to use chalk pastels, oil pastels, colored pencils, and colored markers to create whimsical gestural drawings of people. No experience is required for this low-key evening of color and human exploration. Tanya Rynd is an accomplished oil painter and also a fine art printer focusing primarily on monoprints. She has worked with master printer Marina Ancona of Ten Grand Press for over twenty years. Rynd’s paintings wield a poetic tour de force, exposing a mythic examination of the self and a larger translation of humanity. Many of the works are self-portraits. Art supplies including sheets of mixed media paper or a pad, chalk pastels, oil pastels, colored pencils and colored pens, paint brushes, and a cup for water and mixing will be available for use for $20, but participants are encouraged to bring their own supplies if they have them. Easels will be provided.
