Open Studio: Expressive Portraits

5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Overview

Dive into the colorful energy of Nico Amortegui’s paintings to create expressive blind contour portraits

Reimagine exhibiting artist Nico Amortegui’s subjects, use a mirror to create a self portrait, bring a friend to draw, or meet someone new to sketch at Open Studio.

Let creativity flow and set aside creative restraints with blind contouring, a drawing exercise using an unbroken line to capture a subject without looking at the paper. Ages 18+; materials provided.
