What we’re about
We get together on weekends to wander around San Francisco, sketching people and places, natural and urban. We usually sketch for 2-3 hours, then sit down in a cafe to share sketches and chat. Sometimes we join up with other sketching groups or do field trips outside the city. Everyone welcome.

It's a small, triangle-shaped park in the heart of downtown and is famous for the ornate elephant statues moved from the ‘Court of the Universe’ complex of the Panama–Pacific International Exposition of 1915.
