♥︎ What Is Drink N’ Draw?

Drink n’ Draw at Bat Haus is a fun, welcoming night where people of all skill levels come together to sketch, sip, and connect. Total beginner or seasoned artist, you will feel right at home.

We keep the night relaxed and simple so you can ease in, warm up your hands, and get into the flow.

We start with a few quick 30 second gesture sketches. Fast and loose. No overthinking. It is the perfect way to shake off the day and loosen up.

Then we move into longer poses so you can slow down and spend more time on details, shadows, and shapes. This is where you settle in and find your rhythm.

Halfway through, we take a short break. Grab a beer, stretch, chat with your neighbors, and flip through each other’s sketchbooks.

We finish the night with a few 20 minute poses. Calm, focused, and unhurried. Plenty of time to really look, draw, and create something you feel proud of.

Come unwind after work, meet new friends, and make something with your hands. It is easy, relaxed, and always a good time. Just show up, grab a pencil, and enjoy the night with us.
