Take advantage of an opportunity to slow down, immerse in your surroundings, and observe nature during this four-hour Yosemite art class. With spring flowers and flowing falls adding color and texture to the already grand landscape, you’ll learn the basics of watercolor painting outside, en plein air. Artist Jim Kingwell will tailor his instruction to each student’s level, offering step-by-step guidance to beginners and providing helpful tips for more advanced painters. Whether you choose to focus on a sweeping scene or a specific springtime specimen, you’ll hone painting techniques that will come in handy for future projects. No matter your experience level, you’re sure to learn new skills, enjoy creative camaraderie, and take home a personal art piece that reflects your time in the park!
