Last Friday I took part in an event called Draw Your Face Off, at SPACE Gallery in Portland, ME. Every First Friday most galleries in Portland are free, stay open a bit later and usually have openings or larger events happening. On Friday Space asked myself, along with 20 or so artists to do live drawing. We brought our own paper and supplies and just drew while people came into the gallery and watched us do what we do. All the pieces made from the show were for sale for $30 no matter what it was. It was a really fun event and my first time taking part in it. It was a bit nerve racking since I am not used to drawing around other people, it’s a very private thing for me but it was great to do something out of my comfort zone even if I did draw things I was a little more comfortable drawing. Below are some photos myself and Nat May from SPACE took from the event.
