Drawing from art and nature at the Getty Center museum and gardens

We’ll wander through the galleries and the beautiful gardens, drawing from art and nature.

We’ll discuss color, mark making, composition, maintaining a sketchbook practice, and developing your drawing style.

There’ll be time to share our work, exchange feedback, and chat.

These weekly rambles invite you to slow down, capture the beauty of the seasons through drawing, enjoy the fresh air, and meet new people.

This experience is for curious nature lovers, slow travelers, and locals. All skill levels are welcome, including beginners. I will provide gentle guidance and drawing instruction.

Small group sizes (max 4 people).

What to bring

• A small sketchbook, pencils, and a pencil sharpener.
• Refillable water bottle, comfortable walking shoes, hat, sunscreen, or light layers depending on the weather.
