Capture your impressions of Yosemite in your field journal. We will further enrich your sketchbook as you record your observations in pencil, ink and watercolor paint. Gain inspiration from the colors, texture, and light of the season. Enhance your imagery with journaling. Slow down, see nature’s brilliant creativity, savor its detail, and record it in ways that will continue to inspire you long after your trip.

This workshop is a continuation of the watercolor journaling workshops Janet has been hosting in Yosemite for the last three years! This class is intended for artists who have some experience with watercolor, drawing, and journaling.
