Let's dive into the expressive, colorful world of Henri Matisse! In this class, we will create three abstract landscape oil paintings in the style of Matisse.

The lessons will cover:

<li>How to create movement by varying direction and texture</li>
<li>How to capture the essence of a scene with simplicity </li>
<li>How to prevent muddy colors</li>
<li>How to layer highlights and shadows </li>
<li>How to paint loosely</li>
<li>And more!</li>
</ul>
You can paint along with me using the downloadable photos in the Project tab, or bring your own photos and apply the same colors, principles &amp; steps.  Make sure to follow along and join me in this class. I can’t wait to see the abstract, Matisse-style landscape paintings you create. See you soon!
