It’s easy to draw like Matisse when you follow this easy step by step tutorial. Imitate his colorful paintings with some fun patterns and lots of bright colors.
Henri Matisse is famous for his use of color and patterns in his Impressionistic paintings. In fact, some say only Picasso was possibly more skilled, although who gets to decide things like that? I don’t know.
Lucky for us though, his still life work was made with lots of simple shapes so it’s easy to start with one of his compositions, and then improvised with some new colors and patterns.
