5 Creative Reset Goals for Workshops and Retreats

$0.00

This free two-page field guide is designed to help artists step back, refocus, and reconnect with what matters most in their work. Use it during a workshop, painting retreat, plein air trip, studio day, or whenever your painting starts to feel crowded, cautious, or overworked.

Inside, you’ll find practical questions built around five creative goals: strengthening the story, simplifying without losing depth, making fresher marks, improving composition, and painting faster without sacrificing quality. Each section helps you move beyond simply copying what you see and make clearer decisions about value, edges, color, brushwork, focal point, and intent.

Print it, keep it in your painting bag, or bring it to your next workshop. You don’t need to answer every question. Choose the one that exposes the real problem, make one clear move, and get back to painting.
