Inspiration
Let go and have some fun in this highly energising and liberating art workshop that channels the colourful and slightly mad style of Matisse. Perfect for absolute beginners and artists alike, discover freedom in glorious colour!
Favouring bright colours and bold simplifications, the early 20th Century French artist is synonymous with strong, expressive paintings so leave your insecurities at the studio door and roll up your sleeves to this therapeutic art form.
The Process
Having chosen a Matisse painting from a varied selection of images you’ll roughly sketch it out on a board using a grid guide to mirror the detail. Then it’s time to be brave. With Susie at your side, you’ll bring the board to life with colour, big and bold strokes and masses of passion.
"A group of friends and I had an afternoons Matisse workshop with Susie. None of us are artists but with Susie’s guidance we each left with fabulous canvasses! Works of art! And we had so much fun. It really took us out of selves.
Thankyou Susie. I’ll be back xxxx " Fern Britton
The Workshop
There’s no such thing as mistakes, no right or wrong and absolutely no regrets. Pencil marks, blurred colours, heavy brush strokes; it’s all part of the story. Each and every painting will be different and each and every painting will be brilliant. Susie is on hand to guide and encourage you throughout.
