Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned painter, a spring day spent watercoloring in Yosemite Valley offers a wonderful creative escape. Under the expert guidance of artist Grace Fong, you’ll explore watercolor techniques and materials to craft a composition inspired by the park’s breathtaking beauty. From flowing streams and granite cliffs to vibrant leaves and historic bridges, you’ll immerse yourself in the landscape — observing the subtle play of color, light, shape, and texture — to capture a truly memorable Sierra moment.
