Painting a Matisse!



The great impressionist painter Henri Matisse painted "Head of a Woman" in 1916 using oil on canvas. In the workshop session I facilitated, the students start by drawing the basic outline before painting using watercolor pencils on watercolor paper.





. . . and here are the students works done in an hour and a half session:




Calia, age 8





Claire, age 8





Chantrice, age 10





Caryn, age 6




and by my special student Ignacio:





A fun way of studying and appreciating a great master work!
