Kink & Draw: Pup Portraits Edition
Kink and Draw is a quarterly event that brings together life drawing and queer subcultures. In each session, we’ll learn about a kink or culture from a special guest before we embark on a drawing session inspired by the topic.
On August 13, dig into the world of pup play and sketch a model all geared up as their pupsona. Sit, stay, and draw! Our model for this session is our friend Pup Loadz.
You’re encouraged to bring your own drawing supplies, but basic drawing materials will be available.
18+ only
Wednesday, August 13 @6:00pm – 2 hours
