Dan Robbins Dan Robbins recommended that Palmer's first paint-by-number pack be a unique painting rendered in the cubist style spearheaded by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It later demonstrated that grown-up customers pulled in to the by-the-numbers idea abhorred unique organizations, favoring the story authenticity of Fishermen, Mt. Matterhorn, Latin Figures, and The Bullfighter.

Deals Scene Sales of paint-by-number packs took off on the West Coast in 1951. In this San Francisco scene, one assistant renews deals stock, while another exhibits the by-the-numbers method for a horde of inquisitive spectators.

 English Consumer Brochure Branching out to business sectors in Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, and Norway in the mid 1950s, Palmer Paint custom fitted paint-by-number subjects to national tastes. This flyer marketing Craft Master packs in England, for instance, includes Shakespeare's origin and Ann Hathaway's Included in her show at Team Gallery this fall were three models from another arrangement of works of art titled "Perfect Proportions" (2013), all consolidating arrangements of estimations, in inches. As sketchily painted words demonstrate, they are the outlines of arms, chest, midsection, thighs and calves—explicitly, however this isn't explained in the canvases, those of expert jocks.

In the left board, a section of numbers in blazing pink takes off up toward the right, the names of body parts they measure spreading out close by like a pennant. To one side is a hardened pool of squeamishly drab polymer medium; McClelland is inclined toward off-name employments of paint's parts. In this current diptych's restricting board, a rundown of numbers, in dark, drops down a chasm of marbled jade-green; above it is a bright blasted of little painted gold air pockets. For these works, McClelland has utilized representation cloth, its fine string and tight weave delivering a hard, smooth surface on which liquids will in general buoy and dry shades disperse; among alternate mediums in play are gesso, oil paint and charcoal.

In Frank "The Chemist," what resembles a shower of coal dust shows up beneath a tumble of numbers, these the estimations of weight lifter Frank Zane.

 A bunch of little, sporadic, dark rimmed circles that bring out projectile gaps are dispersed all over, tactfully evil. Increasingly benevolent are black out numerals apparently scratched into a puddle of polymer medium, an inspiration of finger painting that brings the expression "advanced work of art" to mind. Perusing plays on words into this work is, indeed, invited by McClelland, who recognizes that the "Perfect Proportions" arrangement establishes a type of figure drawing, with "figure" intended to be perused no less than two different ways. 1 She brings up that in working out rivalries—which include flexing appendages and striking stances, not lifting loads—hopefuls are made a decision by their agile advances starting with one position then onto the next, and, eminently, by their muscles' definition and structure, the last criteria additionally pertinent to conventional figure painting (which McClelland contemplated as an undergrad, at the University of Michigan).
