Start with a brief outline of the sketch crawl process, then stroll the garden together and sketch images that inspire you. The goal is to capture a variety of quick impressions of the Garden that tell the story of your visit. We will end the session by sharing sketches and a discussion of the process.
Kalina Wilson specializes in on-location urban landscape sketching using ink and watercolors. She works quickly in pocket sketchbooks which enables her to capture fleeting and unexpected moments as they happen. Kalina’s art is on display at Lan Su through November.
Bring your own sketchbook or paper pad as well as pencils, pens, and/or travel size watercolor kit to use. Beginners welcome!
Included free with Lan Su membership or admission; no registration is required.
Artwork is available for purchase through the Garden Shop. Lan Su members receive 10% off of art purchases.
