The Dead Painter's Society: Copying The Masters

The Dead Painter's Society is a group of students from Adam Grosowski's painting class at Lane Community College (LCC).

We meet outside of class, at LCC, on Fridays, from 12 noon until we are tired and want to go home.

 I did this painting today: Friday, Febuary 25, 2011.

In class we are supposed to be copying the masters--paying especial attention to values: black(1), grey(5), and white10).

This painting (acrylic on cardboard) is after Theophilus Brown, Untitled (Interior), 1963. Oil on canvas, 46 1/4 x 48 in.

Theophilus Brown was part of the Bay Area Figurative Art School of 1950-1965. Richard Diebenkorn is the most famous of that school of painters.

The photos below are of my painting in progress. I will add color--hopefully-- this weekend, once I get the values in order.
