Drawing & Painting in Classical Atelier Techniques
Background: John Murdoch has devoted decades to the study and teaching of representational painting and drawing. He produces both portraiture, figurative and still life paintings with an otherworldly edge, often using hand-ground paints and gold leaf on wood panel or canvas.
New Inspired Angel Painting
I first visited the Cascade mountains in Washington state as a teenager. I grew up in some perpetually gray and dreary Chicago weather and I loved seeing the mountains, lush forests and greener than green, well… GREENS! Everywhere I looked the colors and light just saturated my eyes. As always I kept imagining mythical creatures in the settings around me. So when it came time to place my most recent studio model in an environment that meant something to me, out popped my very large stock of reference photos.
This painting is a combination of a lovely rock from the Cascades, the always terrific local model Jessica Triller, some wings gifted to me from a friend who found a dead bird and of course my constant supply of gold leaf.
