Wednesday we have MOAR SKETCHINESS for you! Alex is back at the The Red Rock Saloon ready to inspire your 1940s/Art Deco/Film Noir/Hollywood sketches!
(Stay for Sketchy after Dark and join us for our Dr Sketchy After Party!)
Are you an artist, or do you want to be one? Art lovers of ALL skill levels are invited to attend Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School at The Red Rock Saloon and experience what is easily the most exciting and creative alternative life drawing session in SW Florida! This isn’t the standard life drawing night you’re used to.
We encourage (responsible) drinking, socializing, snacking on tasty burgers and we encourage wild cheers and applause to show appreciation for our models! So, grab your sketch pads (iPads welcome), sharpen your pencils, enjoy a Rockstar Burger (or two!) and lets make some Art!
Kick off the new year by revisiting 1940′s, the end of the golden age of swing and jazz as we know it today was slowly coming to the forefront. While Ol Blue Eyes (Frank Sinatra) ruled the airwaves and made the bobbysoxers swoon, artists like John Coltrane and Charlie “Bird” Parker were moving up the ranks to make their indelible mark on the jazz world.
Join Alex as she inspires us with some old fashioned 1940′s Hollywood, Film Noir and Art Deco!

Cover Charge: $8 in advance and $10 at the Door. (18+ to Draw / 21+ to Drink – Money will be collected during the night, just get comfortable and we’ll worry about it later, we’re pretty easy going like that. Cash or Credit Card Accepted. Can’t afford the cover charge? No worries, just let me know and we’ll work something out)
What to Bring: You will want to bring a drawing board, sketch pad or something sturdy to draw on as sometimes table space is a bit limited….also, any dry materials (or super quick drying medium as poses are sometimes quick) – such as colored pencils, markers, charcoal, pencil, etc. watercolors work for longer poses. We will be doing a series of short poses (1, 2 and 5 minutes) and then work up to some longer 20 minute poses. We are working with “Bar Lighting” so you might want to consider bringing a small book-light. Models will typically be costumed or wearing clothing to a point, as this is not a nude drawing session. Tipping of the model is encouraged.
Location Location Location: We are holding our event at The Red Rock Saloon located in Downtown Fort Myers, River District at 2278 First Street. It is located between Jackson and Hendry.
Where to Park: Parking is on Street
Photography: Dr Sketchy is primarily a Social Drawing Event however we do welcome Photographers from time to time. Be Respectful. Different Models will have different requests regarding photographing them during our events, we will try to provide this information before the event and go over it again during the event. If you are invited to take pictures during our events please make sure to share copies of the photos with the models and also with Dr Sketchy SWFL. If you are one of the Artists drawing during our events, please be mindful of when the models do not want to be photographed before taking pictures with your camera phone – we want them to keep our models happy.
