In this art workshop, you’ll learn basic drawing techniques and practice capturing nature using nothing more than a sketchbook and a few colored pencils. Students will draw on a unique surface — double-sided matte film — which can be attached to the inside of a sketchbook. Students will venture outside and observe, draw and color Yosemite’s grandiose landscapes.
