Artplane workshop at Esalen

I'm currently at Esalen studying with Nicholas Wilton and Jenny Oppenteimer in their week long art plane workshop. The workshop is great and given me many new insights on design and contrast and their importance in composing a painting that works well - captures the viewer, keeps them interested and moving around the painting. Here are some photos from around the Esalen campus.
