Art on the Landmarks: Painting at the Native Seed Farm

Dive into nature at the Native Seed Farm on this outdoor Art on the Landmarks program. This session will be fall-themed focused, offering you an opportunity to explore your artistry in the late afternoon/ evening light. Join us for an evening of fun skeletons, skulls, and pumpkin painting. Bring sketch pads, canvas, easels, pastels, paints, pens, pencils, and capture the beautiful scenery around you.

Begin by gathering ideas and inspiration from still life displays, flora and fauna, and the surrounding landmarks. Then, settle in the staging area to bring your artistic vision to life!

We’re thrilled to have Shane McClatchey (shanemcclatchey.com) returning as our special guest for this event. A Laguna Beach-based artist with an MFA in Painting from the Laguna College of Art and Design, Shane’s work is represented by Kennedy Contemporary in Newport Beach, California. Feel free to follow along as he paints or dive right into your own creation!

Some art supplies are provided but limited so please come with your own materials and your keen eye for creativity!
