Main Street Cupcakes
Hudson portrait artist Shannon Casey will be at Main Street Cupcakes, 238 N. Main St., from noon to 3 p.m. May 16 doing quick sketch charcoal portraits for customers.
The charcoal sketches are done on toned paper and take about 30 minutes to complete.
The drawings are available on a first-come, first-served basis for $35. Sittings are suitable for children of all ages, as well as adults.
Casey is a member of the Portrait Society of America, Hudson Society of Artists, Akron Society of Artists and Peninsula Art Academy where she has a studio.
Also on display will be a collection of oil "portraits" of cupcakes by Casey with thick impasto paint to represent the frosting.

Special to Record Publishing Co.
Hudson artist Shannon Casey uses charcoal and toned paper to create quick portrait sketches like this one of seventh-grader Eric Vlahos. Models are encouraged to talk during the process as it creates a more lifelike portrait.
