Virtual: Fauvism in portraiture - A study of colour expression

Let get colourful!

Learn about fauvism, portraiture, colour expression and my favourite fauvist -Matisse! This class is appropriate for all levels, no experience necessary.

Known for its bold use of color and brushwork, Fauvism marked a departure from the more traditional, representational style of painting. Henri Matisse was one of the movement's leading figures, and his portraits offer a unique perspective on the human form, capturing the essence of his subjects through vivid color and expressive lines. In this class, we will explore the work of Matisse and other Fauvist artists, and examine how their innovative approach to portraiture influenced the course of art history.

For this session Aisling will walk you through the painting step-by-step over zoom. Our virtual classes are hosted using a professional film set up for a high definition virtual class. The class takes place between 7:00pm-9:30pm Eastern Time (Toronto, Canada). It is advised to pour a small amount of each colour on your palette and have paint water ready before instruction begins at 7:00pm. The first 10 minutes are for questions about set up and some quick introductions to the process. Be ready with your brush in hand at 7:10 :)
