Painting's Jim Dine Bottles

What do Jim Dine, Andy Warhol and CHS's Painting Class have in common?  They all painted the same image over and over again using different techniques or colors.

We are going to paint 4 bottles using 4 different techniques.
1. Normal- an everyday realistic painting.
2.  Texture with modeling paste.
3. Scrafito- layered paint
4.  Free choice using a technique from one ofthe books.

Here are some examples of Jim Dine's Robes
