Cantor Museum & Rodin Sculpture Gardens

The Cantor Rodin Sculpture Garden is a truly inspiring location for urban sketchers! A place where art, nature, and architecture converge. Whether you're working in ink, watercolor, or mixed media, the space offers endless inspiration.

Bring versatile tools: A combination of pens for lines and watercolors for washes works beautifully to capture both detail and atmosphere.

Start small: Focus on individual elements—like a statue or a grouping of trees—to build up your composition.

Use the surroundings: Incorporate the garden’s gravel paths, benches, and lighting—it adds depth and context to your sketches.

Be mindful of light: Capture light direction early: shadows can enhance sculptural depth.

Stay for a while: Let the environment and sculptures inspire you—sketching here can be meditative.
