Slow down, look closely, and discover the magic of capturing light on Yosemite’s plants and surrounding landscapes. Taught by botanical artist Terri Munroe, this class is rooted in one core idea: art begins with observation. You’ll train your eye to catch light, shadow, and dimension, then learn to compose your subject and layer ink with watercolor for depth and detail. Come spend a few unhurried hours in one of the world’s most inspiring landscapes, and leave with a fresh way of seeing and a piece of art all your own. All levels welcome — just bring your curiosity!
