The Ephemeral
Landscape III
Lois Conner
CONCEPT
“We are in important ways the
sum of the places we have walked. And because
the terrain seems so contradictory – peaceful
here and terrifying there – the farther we walk,
the less we are inclined to claim we know.”
- Robert Adams
This workshop encourages students to examine
their artistic vision through the exploration of
the ephemeral landscape. Outside of group
discussions, students work one-on-one with
the instructor to develop their own voice and
message. Throughout the week, students are
encouraged to develop their personal visions,
technical skills and conceptual fluency to apply
to their own practices.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students use
digital cameras, a digital workflow with Adobe
Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop, and digital
printmaking techniques.
ACTIVITIES
Students explore a variety of
local landscapes together, such as Leadville,
Carbondale, Ruedi Reservoir and the White
River National Forest. Besides a camera, the
only thing students need is an open eye and a
willingness to look and consider the possibilities
in their work.

CONCEPT Painting is a direct and powerful
way to start the process of letting our
subconscious lead our creative flow. Students
learn as many different ways of painting as
possible as a way of making substrates that guide
the image that follows. Using photographs,
or any available material, students build their
images letting the original acrylic painting
guide the process. Photographic processes that
apply to image-making are presented, as well
as correct cutting and adhesive procedures.
Final images are concise and specific, and most
often, as are all gifts of the subconscious, not
something seen before. CONCEPT
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES Students use
paint and digital images along with found
objects, organic objects and recycled art that is
preferably their own. Students are encouraged
to bring and use their own photographs or use
photos taken during the workshop. MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
ACTIVITIES Demonstrations include
painting with acrylics, digital imaging and
transfer techniques, including direct paper and
inkjet transparencies. Students review layering
of images, gluing techniques, and how to use
different materials to apply the digital image
to the painted surface. Image presentations
showcase artists using these techniques. ACTIVITIES

Transferring one material to
another can be complicated and involved, or as
simple as smacking one surface down on top of
another. Students learn different approaches to
transfers and which work best to create the best
images. Starting with painted panels (acrylic)
and according to what is transferred, and what is
being transferred onto, students learn different
transfer processes: emulsion transfer, paper,
parchment paper, contact, and direct rubbing.
Students also learn the difference between laser
and inkjet transfers and when to use a paper
transfer or an emulsion transfer. Photography,
drawing and painting are incorporated.
Students use
