In this four-hour watercolor workshop, you’ll learn how to use brushes and paint on a two-dimensional surface to bring a three-dimensional landscape to life. Your instructor, artist Mariko Lofink, will teach you basic watercolor techniques, including how to use light and dark colors to create the illusion of depth in a scene captured on paper.
Let Yosemite’s awe-inspiring landscape fuel your creativity, as you discover a new appreciation for nature and practice painting en plein air.
