Matisse Style

It turns out that drawing in the style of Matisse is not easy!

 I used a large stick of charcoal to avoid getting too tied down with detail. I have managed to loosen up in brief interludes- this shows mostly in my second drawing.

I actually completed about ten drawings including some swift 10, 20 and 30 second drawings which were challenging but helped me to get the main shapes on the page without being too fussy.
My version of the Matisse reclining nude. 



These drawings took about 3 minutes. I really tried to simplify and draw quickly.
Way too overworked!
