John Murray classes week of Nov. 11, 2013


No Monday class due to Veteran's Day.

For Wednesday Supercharged painting:
Next week try working from a newspaper or magazine photo.
Of course the usual deconstruction/manipulation of the image into painterly terms is essential!
Above are 2 examples: Theophilus Brown's (a Bay Area figurative painter) 1956 football painting worked
from a sports photo and below that a painting that I did in the Summer of 2011 from a baseball photo.
Many great modernist and postmodernist painters work from published images.
Francis Bacon did it all the time.
See you next week. John.
