Free Friday Night at the Norton Simon Museum is a great monthly event, and a wonderful sketching opportunity! I nearly always want to sketch in the gardens, even as the days became shorter--a pleasure to sketch in the changing light. Here are a few...Mostly it's dry media here, since the Norton Simon frowns on the wet stuff...so, mostly I sketched with ink, pencil and some water-soluble media (adding just a discreet touch of the water brush now and then).

The gardens are home to some wonderful sculpture...interesting to see how visitors interact with them. At left, Henry Moore and Maillol's large-scale "Mountain". Below, Henry Moore...
A glimpse through the window from the garden at Maillol's Three Graces gracing the lobby...
Sketching the fading light with water-soluble Inktense pencils on a fall evening...
This one...well, it was an experiment! Sketching mostly by feel with a soft pencil on tan paper, and some white gouache added for the very last light...
