Watercolor painting can be a quick, fun and rewarding way to hone your observation skills and create a personal memento from your Yosemite journey. Join artist Faith Rumm to spend a day drawing on your surroundings to fill a page with watercolor observations. You’ll learn to combine careful observation with quick sketching and watercolor to capture the essence of your subject, and to design an eye-catching page. After the workshop, take your painting home, and use your new skills to continue recording your observations of the natural world.
