bonus lesson: le chapeau blanc

In this bonus lesson, we step a little further back to 1909 and the era of the Fauves. The Fauves, led by Matisse, were the “wild beasts” of the early twentieth century Parisian art scene, using strong colour and a loose and painterly style. James Duncan Fergusson was a Scottish artist influenced by their work and in this lesson we learn from his painting “Le Voile Persan”. I had so much fun creating this piece in bold colour and quick, flowing brushstrokes. We also make the work our own by including our own floral motifs and choice of hat.
