John Murray classes week of August 13, 2012

We had a male model last Wed. and some really strong painting was accomplished by artists who attended.
This week I would like to get beyond the retinal rods and cones and skin of the illusion and strip down to the skeletal structure of the figure and the painting. What does that mean? Well above is a painting by Les Rogers that does that with that old chestnut "Skeleton and Cigarette". Check Rogers' work online and a show at Half Gallery, "Summer Swells" on the Lower East Side. Art-making is a constantly challenging occupation, but it can be fun!
See you next week, john.
