Easy Garden Sketching: Pumpkins with Eileen P. Goldenberg

Sunday, October 12, 2025
10am-12pm
San Francisco Botanical Garden — Main Gate

About the Program

Registration includes a comprehensive sketch kit. Please bring your own folding chair or stool.

Pumpkins are iconic symbols for fall, the changing seasons, Halloween, and all things spooky! Using model pumpkins, you will learn how to sketch and mix the variety of colors they come in! Eileen will teach participants how to simplify shapes, look for shadows and details, and add watercolor to their sketches. This class is a relaxing way to observe and record the world around you. 

Your comprehensive sketch kit will include everything you need to start your sketching practice. The kit includes a sketchbook, pen, pencil, water brush, binder clip, paper towel, and watercolors. You may also bring your own sketching materials. If you have taken one of Eileen’s classes before and would prefer a #2 Sketch Kit — a sketchbook and fountain pen with permanent ink — you may request one when you register.

To Register: Send an email to epgoldenberg3344@gmail.com with your name, date of class, and (if applicable) a request for a #2 Sketch Kit. 

This class is appropriate for ages 7 and up. All participants must register regardless of age.
