About the Class:

Discover the joy of combining outdoor adventure with artistic expression on this group hike and painting session at the Butte.

Join the Revel crew for a moderately challenging 3-mile hike on the Butte (1.5 miles out, 1.5 miles back). At the summit, Alaska artist Sandy McDermott will discuss how views of the Matanuska Valley, Knik Glacier, and surrounding peaks can inspire your creativity.

During the lesson, Sandy will guide participants through the basics of field sketching and watercolor painting. Using portable art materials, you’ll learn easy, expressive techniques for capturing the unique light, colors, and textures of the landscape.

This course is weather-dependent. We will make a weather call the evening prior to our course date based on the anticipated forecast for the Butte area.

Total workshop time is approximately 3-4 hours. This course is best suited for adult learners and teenagers.
