Drink & Draw
About
A 21-and-over evening sketch session where a costumed model holds timed poses in a candlelit, draped setting while a Gage monitor keeps the clock and offers drawing pointers; supplies are provided, and cider, wine and other drinks are sold on site. It runs 6–7:30pm on Thursday, December 17 at Gage South Lake Union, 2107 Westlake Ave (South Lake Union Streetcar, or about a 12-minute walk from Westlake Station). Tickets are $25, or $20 for members and atelier students, bought in advance through Gage's shop. Gage also has daytime classes on our calendar this season, including Tiny Watercolors on December 3 and Confident With Color on December 18.

New to painting?
Painting and drawing classes run from relaxed one-night sessions that guide you to a finished canvas to multi-week courses in watercolour, oils, figure drawing or illustration.
- Guided one-night classes suit groups and first-timers; courses suit people who want to improve.
- Figure-drawing sessions use a live model and are usually for adults only.
- Materials are usually included in one-off classes; courses often send a supply list.
Taking it home: The same day, though acrylic and oil may need a few hours to dry before they travel well.
