Sketch Book Prompt For the Week of 10/6/14


This week, I want you to take a look of the work by French artist, Henri Matisse. 
Matisse went through several art styles during his lifetime, and one of those "periods" was painting the scene from his window. He would travel quite a bit and really loved the idea of painting windows. Below are some of his paintings to give you inspiration. You may use on or two pages. And remember: the more details and shading, the better the work.

Below, are a couple of examples from other artists.
