Repertoire Painting

❝

"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves." - Carl Jung.

I developed "repertoire painting" based on the way we traditionally learn music and language.

Repertoire is a story told in a specific medium. It may be in the domain of art, music, literature, dance or martial arts.
Repertoire shows how the language is used to communicate.
Repertoire contains all the necessary skill sets.

When you learn classical music you learn the language by playing and analysing the masterworks.

A music student would answer the question "How good are you?" something like this. I play:

Classical pieces by ... Bach, Mozart and Vivaldi
Rock by ... Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones
Pop by ... The Beatles, Kylie Minogue and Elton John.

This is also the way you probably learned English in school, by studying classic literature.

By taking a repertoire based approach to painting you are:

Working towards a well defined goal.
Creating a masterwork which is already proven to be a popular piece of art.
Working to a time constraint

In summary we are working and aiming to produce a reasonable interpretation of a recognised masterpiece painting within a limited time frame.
