Optical Illusions and painting
This optical illusion shows clearly the necessity of backing up frequently from the canvas while painting.

Gaining visual ideas from collage painting
Very cool video on painting from collage in order to find your visual ideas. I was amazed how big the students were working. It must be very freeing. We're working on collage and painting in Henry Sinn's class and I'm hoping to absorb some of his free-spirited ideas and break out of my rut. I did two collages today but don't think they'd be useful in a painting just yet. I'll just have to keep working.

Portrait from Friday's open studio at Crealde
John, 12" x 16" oil on canvas
Open studio at Crealde is from 1 to 3:30 on Friday. Being able to paint/sketch the models in one extended pose is helpful for the portrait artist as well as figurative artists. And the $10 charge, whether you're a member of Crealde or not, is the best deal in town.

Frans Hals at the Met
 |
| Copy of Frans Hals detail in my sketchbook |
One of my favorite artists, Frans Hals, will be at the Met through October 10th. Copying one of his paintings is a great lesson for the aspiring artist. His brush strokes are masterful and his portraits are sublime. Must see!
