Description

Open to the public!
Join us for a figure drawing demonstration and discussion led by celebrated artist and educator Emil Robinson!

Known for his magnificent pastel renderings of the figure, Robinson will guide us through his process of capturing luminance through color and light while completing a drawing from direct observation.

Robinson, along with special guest artists Ellina Chetverikova and Taylor Woolwine will draw for approximately 2½ hours with a brief wine/refreshment intermission, and conclude with an audience-inclusive discussion. Seating will be provided, and will be on a first-come first-served basis. Observers are welcome to come and go quietly throughout the evening’s demonstration.
