I enjoyed working with the model last week, I hope you did.
This week think about figure/ground issues and deal with placing a figure in a sketchy background.
A background that implies a number of possibilities.
The painting that engages me most is painting that opens possibilities about form/content and plasticity.
Or try a painting with no spacial illusion and do a flat frontal painting that acknowledges the literal flatness of the canvas.
The critic Clement Greenberg espoused this view and that concept contributed to Jackson Pollack's painting and fame.
