Art Retreat: Watercolor Painting with Pen and Ink
In this three-day immersive art workshop with artist Lindsey Fox, you’ll deepen your understanding of color and pattern and learn about the important role these two elements play in representing the Yosemite landscape. We will focus on the idea of play and abstraction to draw and paint Yosemite’s beauty. Your instructor will assist you in translating your own view of the park into unique works of art.
Students will be led to challenge their perceptions of what something “should” look like and enjoy a playful perspective on landscape painting. Workshop participants will collaborate and share, with ample opportunity to exchange ideas, practice techniques and learn from each other.
