All John Murray Classes week of April 26, 2010

Let's try an acrylic transfer to canvas, paper or wood.

When Rauschenberg did his transfers to canvas he used highly-toxic materials such as xelene, with the method i use non-toxic acrylic gel and photocopies are used and the effects are excellent.

i would like all classes to try this as an under- painting setup that can be worked over and incorporated into an image or object with either acrylic or oil paint, wood, plaster or paper mache. Materials needed are acrylic gel, either wood panel, stretched canvas or heavy paper (hot press) and black and photo copies that you want to incorporate into your piece.

Thanks, see you next week...john.

We will have a model all day Wednesday, for both sections of Supercharged painting.
A nude female model, please bring a large canvas, a pad of newsprint and the usual paints and materials you normally use.
Monday painting class and Postmodern Assemblage will not have a model this week, so please continue to work on last week's work.
Cori and i are trying to find a model for Monday the 26th, since New Art Center is closed for Patriots Day on the 19th.
