Making progress

I'm always very excited after completing a class or workshop. It never fails that the instructor explains an idea in just the right way that my brain exclaims "Ah Ha! Now I understand!" With a list of new skills and ideas to implement I am in the process of reevaluating my painting process. Terry Miura's workshop has me seriously studying composition. The idea of the artist composing a piece instead of copying what they see is paramount. When I'm out with my sketch book or camera gathering reference and inspiration I will have a new set of eyes to see the world.
