A small value study in Stablio black pencil...
Drawn off and colors laid in...
My version of the painting, again not trying to copy Matisse exactly. Only trying to learn! I have a lot of learning left to do. The painting is not nearly as simple as it looks, but it sure was fun to try.
I love the simplicity of the subject matter and the colors. Of course, Matisse did a much better job!

Great version! It looks like a fun course.
P.S. Sharon did you know you have word captcha on - took me 4 tries to leave a message... with a lot of eyestrain to finally figure it out.
Your lady looks like she is enjoying her book! I really like the colour contrasts. Even the most "simple" looking art is never simple in time.
Beautifully done! Valerie
It sounds like a really fun course and love your interpretation.
Happy PPF, Annette x

I am taking that course as well. I have learned so much and I'm barely past Matisse. I think your painting captures the spirit of Matisse's painting so well - but as you said (and as it should be) you have made it your own. Lovely job
A very lovely version Val. Looks like you are gathering much in the lessons, enjoy the class!

Thank you for showing your steps. The result is definitely one to hang on the wall. I think it is amazingly good.

A lovely Matisse-inspired painting Valerie, with your own individual touch added. I think Matisse is an excellent artist to study and learn from, and you have achieved the task of painting so well.
Learning from the masters looks very interesting. Love your personal take on the subject.
This is a real beauty!!!
Bravo
Your version has a very sweet feel.
