Immersed in the inspiring landscape of Yosemite Valley, you will spend three days sketching and exploring the rich history of the park’s iconic buildings using line and watercolor. Your instructor, artist Janet Takahashi, will share quick and simple perspective techniques in a guided, step-by-step format.
