Join artists Juliana and Fernando for a hands-on gouache painting workshop in Yosemite! You’ll learn to see the landscape as it actually is — not just how you assume it looks. Together, you’ll cover the basics of gouache, from mixing colors to using your tools, while learning to break down complex scenes into simple, achievable shapes. Juliana brings a detail-oriented, illustrative eye with hands-on demos, while Fernando keeps things light and playful, helping you relax into the process even as you focus. This workshop is all about slowing down, simplifying, and painting what’s really in front of you — whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or you’ve been painting for years.
