# Event Details - **Event Name**: Douglas Fryer-Painting With Purpose: Reimagining the Landscape - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 06 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 am – Fri, 09 Oct, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Landscape painting is more than a faithful copy of the structure of the world.About this Eventwww.douglasfryer.blogspot.comIntermediate-AdvancedLandscape painting is more than a faithful copy of the structure of the world. The opposite may be true, in fact. There is no set rule for making a landscape painting. Only this idea remains: the landscape is what we imagine it to be. Once we accept that, then how do we begin? What principle will serve me to observe and translate something engaging and worthwhile? Which principles will limit me? Painting great work requires discipline, but not necessarily in the ways we have often been led to believe. There is a difference between making a painting of the landscape and a painting about the landscape. Through lectures, discussion and demonstrations, Douglas will address the many elements of engaging landscape painting. The workshop will reinforce an understanding of composition and form and will also explore methods to break up and strip down the subject, then reconstruct it in new and surprising ways.Franciscan Life Process CenterArt Workshop Registration and Cancellation PolicyA $150 deposit or payment in full is required for enrollment in any workshop.
