I was only aware of more traditional forms, but I enjoyed everything I came across - and was often told I was quite good at it, too! Getting back into it as an adult has really started to open my mind to the world of art, and one man has caught my eye.
Henri Matisse, a French artist, worked in many mediums, but was best known for his paintings. I love the intensity of brush strokes and bright colors, which I now know is characteristic of Fauvism, pioneered by Matisse, so I decided to try my hand (or rather, body) at the form as tribute on the 70th anniversary of his passing, with my usual finishing touch! You can find that at 34:30 in the video.
I can also post my three inspiration pieces of his if anyone would like.
