Rich Color in Figurative Art Inspired by Henri Matisse

With the hundreds of ways of art-making, artists get to explore their capacity for being flexible, creative, open to experimentation, and simply making art for the sake of having a good time. This one day course is exactly that kind. The instructions provided to artists will be mostly about how to shift to the creative mode from the analytical mode of thinking. This ability to “flip the switch” and change your style from dry and deliberate to colorful and creative is potentially available to anyone but not many know how to accomplish that. This recipe of artistic freedom will be taught by Olya in 90 minutes. Offered so close to the holidays, this class’ artwork can become a gift - either to yourself, as a newly discovered ability to paint in Matisse’s style, or a gift to someone who would love nothing more than an artwork from you.
