About this Event

We’ll stroll through the quieter northern section of the park, stopping to observe and sketch plants and trees while enjoying beautiful ocean views.

The session will include tips and techniques inspired by nature and art, playful drawing prompts, and time to wander and sketch what inspires you. There will also be time to share our work, exchange ideas, and chat.

No drawing experience is needed. All skill levels are welcome, including beginners. Gentle guidance will be available throughout the session.

Small groups of up to 6 guests.
