Ink drawing by Alice MumfordJoin us and enjoy a recording of our wonderful two hour online figure class inspired by the work of artist Henri Matisse looking at energetic line, pattern and form.
Matisse used pattern to create an illusion of space and form. It becomes a way of seeing so that it is as if the world can be seen as lots of patterns.
The beauty of using pen, stick or brush to explore this world is that you can’t retract a mark once it’s made. You have to dive in. The pattern leads the way around a form or space and you follow it.
These sessions are designed to inspire, instruct and surprise. Suitable for any level of experience.
You will see both the model and Alice as she works along with you.
