Join us for a fun and creative session at The Photo Opp. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, this event is perfect for anyone looking to stretch their drawing skills and meet fellow artists. Our talented model will strike poses for you to sketch, providing a great opportunity to practice your art.

- Basic paper and drawing supplies available, bring your own easel or other preferred art supplies
