Pastel Landscapes: Playing with Rivers in Winter

Winters here can be long but they are also beautiful. With this class, T Kurtz will work with students to capture icy rivers surrounded by snow.  From The Little Sandcreek, which runs alongside the Schweitzer MT Road, to Westmond Creek and the surrounding areas, the class will discuss softening the complex background to rendering the water’s movement.
