Please join us the last weekend of Spring, the perfect time for drawing or painting in Irvine’s Open Space Preserve! Spend the morning enjoying the scenic hills or the nature garden that has been planted with native flora and enhanced with interpretive signs that tell the story of the Irvine Ranch. It’s a great opportunity to connect with nature and other artists, regardless of ability.
We are excited to have Jessica Beck (jessicadamsky.com), Saddleback College Art Teacher and Professional Artist, returning as our special guest for this event! Her past demonstration paintings have been inspiring and instructional. 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.
