Vegan Sketchers Visit to the U.S. National Arboretum

Come sketch with us at the U.S. National Arboretum! We'll spend the first hour and a half walking through some of the gardens, gathering inspiration. Then we'll head over to the National Capitol Columns grounds to find a shady spot to sit and sketch what we've seen. You'll need to bring your own art materials such as a sketchbook, pencil(s), pen(s), small watercolor set, brushes, water, etc. Sadly, there are very few picnic tables positioned in the shade in the Arboretum, so bring a packable camp chair and/or a blanket. Whatever will make you most comfortable sitting for the remainder of the event. Also, feel free to bring a picnic lunch as there are no food concessions in the park. All skill levels are encouraged to attend, whether you're a sketching newbie or a seasoned artist. I guarantee we all have something to learn from each other! Dogs are welcome at the US Arboretum, but are required to be leashed at all times. Bathroom Facilities/Water: Restroom facilities and a water fountain are available at the R Street entrance. Weather: This event will be canceled if rain or strong winds are forecast.
