Art on the Landmarks Bommer Canyon Preserve: Flowers and Landscapes

Spring is the perfect time for drawing or painting flowers and landscapes in Irvine’s Open Space Reserve! Join us for this event and be inspired by the scenic hills and the nature garden that has been planted with native flora and enhanced with interpretive signs that tell the story of the Irvine Ranch.

We are excited to have Jessica Beck (jessicadamsky.com), Saddleback College Art Teacher and Professional Artist, as our special guest for this event! Jessica will demonstrate how to sketch and provide assistance to anyone who needs a little inspiration or instruction. If you prefer to just get started, you are welcome to take a walk around the garden or Cattle Camp to find your perfect setting. Please bring a portable chair, sketch pad, easel, paints, pens, pencils or pastels, and other art supplies as they are not included.
