Join artist and educator Sean Edgerton, as you learn the basic elements of drawing outdoors in Yosemite Valley. In this adventurous class, you’ll learn to observe nature in a new way, as you record and catalog your Yosemite surroundings using pencils and pens. As you take a fresh look at everything from tiny flowers and insects, to tall trees and waterfalls, you’ll begin to see the beauty in creatures and features you might otherwise overlook. Throughout the class, Edgerton will help you discover and observe details in the landscape, as you create works of art in the park.
