Summer session John Murray classes week of July 28, 2014

                                                                                 Herring Cove Beach-John Murray

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.
Barcelona (for Aaron Siskind)-John Murray

See you next week, John.
