In the second part of our lesson , We began by stretching a board, and using the same setup as before, we painted the setup, using inspiration from Henri Matisse's work.
As you can see, Matisse's painting style is very bright and quite fast; he was an Impressionist and Fauvist, and if you look closely into Matisse's work you can see the paint is very thick and messy. To create his style, we were only allowed to use the three primary colours, beginning with blue. With no help of pencil lines, it was all very imprecise, something I'm not fond of, although I did have a good go, and by the end really got into it! Using the blue we drew the outlines, and then worked in with yellow, and then finally red. Our aim was to be quick and to fill the whole page with colour. After using these colours we were allowed white, to dim down some of the sections so it wasn't all full on. My favourite part of the painting is the skull in the corner, I really paid attention to the shading on the corners of the skull. Personally, I wouldn't chose doing this again, although I did enjoy working with this style further to the end.
