ALLEN BROCKBANK
WORKSHOP
SEPTEMBER 14-16
This September, I'll be teaching a three day course on "Developing Fresh Eyes". The most important ability to improve your work is to see with fresh eyes. Whether that is to see your work differently, to notice new things about the landscape, or to expand the things you want to say with your work, seeing with fresh eyes will keep your work progressing wherever you happen to be in your development. We will have the stunningly beautiful landscape of Escalante National Monument as our subject matter and it will be the perfect warm up for the Escalante Canyons Plein Air Competition.
