Contra Costa Open Studios May 3, 4

This weekend, I will have drawings on display at CR Framing and Gallery in Brentwood as part of the Contra Costa open studios.

One lucky evening at the San Francisco Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, I saw for the first time the work of master caricaturist Al "Big Al" Lopez. Al had his own easel, and was drawing in pen and ink the old fashioned way by dipping a metal nib into the ink. His lines were confident and full of life.

I had heard of the Brentwood drawing group, but the distance from Richmond always discouraged me from attending. Eventually, I decided to make the trek and I've been hooked ever since. The smaller drawing venue means an intimate and relaxing experience. No crowding, blaring music or bombastic hosts. Plus, the models are fantastic.

I will be selling some of my favorite sketches of Rasa Vitalia, Sarah Christine, Aja De Coudreax, and Sgt. De Wies. Hope to see you there! (flyer w/ maps below)
