This week's sketchbook assignment: Matisse Still-life

Henri Matisse (1869 - 1954) was a French artist, known for his use of color. He was not worried about making his paintings look real, but rather that they had interesting arrangements of colors and shapes.

1. Start with drawing a vase and flowers. Add a circle for the table. Add the room lines. Draw simple flowers in the vase.Try to make the art look flat, rather than 3D, because that is what Matisse liked to do. Trace your lines with black permanent marker. 



2. Use crayons to color to color the flowers and leaves. Draw different line patterns on all the other surfaces. Keep them large and simple. 



3. Use watercolor paint to fill in all the areas.
