Art Class: Watercolor with Zach Polic

April 20th to April 24th, with Classes Recurring Monday through Friday

9:00 AM to 1:00 PM

at the Happy Isles Art and Nature Center in Yosemite Valley

Guests can join local instructor Zach as he guides them through the fundamentals of watercolor, building confidence with key concepts such as compositional design, managing values, and color theory. Once students are set up for success, the class will move outdoors to spend the remaining time leisurely painting and enjoying the scenery. The goal of the class is for students to relinquish expectations, experience the joy of connecting with the natural world, and create art inspired by it. By the end of the day, participants will have a stronger understanding of watercolors and landscape painting, along with the encouragement and basic skills to continue the practice.
