"One tone alone is a color, two tones are a chord, three tones are life.” - Henri Matisse Known for his expressive use of color, loose brushwork, and joyful approach to painting, Henri Matisse revolutionized the art world by using color not merely to represent reality, but to evoke emotion and create an entirely new visual language. After a brief lecture on the movement, you’ll experiment with vivid color combinations, energetic brushstrokes, and simplified forms—just as Matisse did in masterpieces like Woman with a Hat and The Red Studio. The workshop will encourage you to break free from traditional representations and create art that is driven by feeling and expression, rather than realism. Taught by PhDs, subject matter experts and professional artists. All art supplies are included. This Studio Session is part of the Impressionism Studio Series.
