29 Faces Day 15









This is my interpretation of Head of Lorette with Curls, by Henri Matisse, a pencil sketch direct onto a book page.

  1. As I am sure you know I am a HUGE Matisse fan and I really like the way you have used the bookpaper as a background. You have captured her playful expression and glossy thick hair really well.

  2. Excellent likeness ! I have never painted on a book page and I must do it soon. Probably before the end of this month.

  5. A beautiful Matisse-inspired painting. I like the subtle colouring of the face, and it looks so good on the book page. I bet Matisse wishes he had tried that!
    Hope you got my yesterday's email.
