Painting With Matisse

Journal Lesson

Join me in creating two unique portraits simultaneously, inspired by Matisse's curious and expressive style!

Matisse often worked in pairs and would create the same composition but in two completely different ways! As we know he was passionately curious and wanted to explore many ways of expressing himself. I believe that this was part of his process, so I wanted to give it a go with you guys this month!

You are going to see me create two radically different portraits simultaneously. This was challenging (and a bit scary) for me but I approached it with curiosity instead of caution and just went for it! The result was a dynamic pair of portraits, both created with colors, marks and styles I don’t usually work in! It was an absolute blast to try this!

I hope you will give it a go! Can’t wait to see what you create!

Two substrates of your choice - same size

Oil paints or Acrylic paints or really any medium you want to use. Here are the Oil Paints I used - (you do not need ALL these colors)
