Inspired by the idea of nostalgic landscapes, Allgood will provide you with the beginning sketches of various scenes and guide you to pick the one that resonates with you and complete it with your choice of drawing materials.
No prior experience in art is necessary to join the fun—we welcome guests of all experience levels. All materials are provided, though we encourage you to bring your own sketchbook if you have one.
