John Murray classes week of January 12, 2015

Next week let's see what you can do with removal.

The act of removing, scraping and washing out pigment is as important as applying it.
Above is a Matisse portrait of a young woman painted (scratched) 100 years ago, it still is just as striking and radical as anything painted today.
On the night of February 5, I will be giving a talk at NAC on Matisse and his radical view of painting in those years.

For now, see you next week, John
