Dutch Master Carl Purcell!

I wandered into one of our painting studios this morning to say hello to Carl Purcell, a Snow College emeritus professor of art, who is teaching his annual summer watercolor workshop. And I discovered that his watercolor instruction book has just been translated into Dutch. Carl is a spectacular artist and teacher. I guess if the Dutch artists want to learn from Carl that makes him a sort of Dutch Master? Well, we can think so! So here is a picture of Snow College’s own Dutch master, in his studio, teaching students who have come to Ephraim, Utah, from all over the country to learn watercolor technic. He is holding his book, translated into Dutch.

Snow College has a long reputation for its quality visual art program. We are bringing forward this year a proposal to launch an associate of fine arts degree. The Last time I looked visual arts was one of our five fastest growing programs at the College.
