Plenty of people have smartphones full of Yosemite photos. In this class, artist Maggie Warner will help you look beyond what you can capture with your camera, and teach you to create a more personal snapshot using simple analog tools: pencil, pend and ink. You’ll learn to bring your surroundings to life on paper through black-and-white drawings, and to add judicious strokes and splashes of color.
This creative class, perfect for artists of all experience levels, will help you find techniques that fit your artistic style and produce a final drawing that reflects your personal Yosemite experience.
