Students: Kate Miller and Mary Lostak.

Our next class features Matisse: his ink/brush drawings and the paintings they inspired. Starting on Monday, January 21st, 2019. Look for information here.

Watercolor studies preceeded these paintings. Some students had experience, others none. Photographs were sources for Jill Brewer’s “Boats” and Jessica Travis’ “Kansas Landscape”. Katie Tynes and Mary Lostak chose to work from paintings by Vlaminck and Cezanne.
