    This fun, eye-opening workshop will ignite new ways of thinking in your practice. Think about it, the painting process is like a huge club sandwich. Therefore, our job, as artists, is to dismantle the sandwich. Each part of the sandwich is either a response or an analytical layer. By keeping these layers separate you can find joy and freedom in your painting. This workshop is a combination of demonstrations, exercises, individual attention, and group discussion. This workshop will expand the way you look at and interpret the landscape. Rather than just painting the scene, open the door to responding to the painting. Poetry is a painting that is felt rather than seen.
