Gloria J Zucaro's "Matisse Impressions"

I have been home the last few days with something "flu-like".  I had signed up for Creative Jumpstart 2016 led by Nathalie Kalbach and a weekly challenge with Roberta Laliberte using palette color prompts.
I used the colors in Roberta's palette and used the theme from Jumpstart.
Our first of 25 videos on Jumpstart was by Rae Missigman.  She did a floral in the style of Matisse.  We were to do our own painting in his style also.



Here are my step-by-steps

A Matisse Original Painting


The Paints


Roberta Laliberte color palette


Rae Missigman's finished Matisse-like Floral


Journal page-cover with Liquitex Matte medium, let dry


Make drawing with black Sharpie


Add Paint

Next Rae had added white paint over everything and then scraped it off with a card.  I was too chicken!  My paper is one of those woven types, I thought it would rip.  So I covered it with waxed paper.  I did not like it at all, as I am a bright color high contrast painter!  But it did add texture which I liked by the end.


Covered with wax paper and matte medium!  I redrew around the shapes with a scripto pen.


So I repainted it, using the acrylic paints with some Dr. Martin Inks added for fun!

After that dried I did some outlines in white/black scripto and called it a day!


Stay well and come back soon!

Gloria
