I started this painting some time ago. We decided to make a project sheet for doing a cubist painting with Matisse Dry Mediums. I’d painted this cubist painting at the Easter Show, so I had to do another one so that we could photograph it step by step. Here’s how this painting started out. I got sidetracked by all the watercolour pencil drawings I was doing for Kate Johnston’s Watercolour Pencil Class. Finally it got done now, and the project worksheet won’t be long.

What a great 3D feel to this one! I really like the earthy stuff that goes around it, and it’s just so pleasant to look at
The texture on this is really interesting. As Alex said, ‘earthy’ but it almost has a metallic sheen to it. Seems like the dry mediums will lend themselves to lots of possibilities. Cool painting too
This is a really cool painting, Wendy! Thanks for the tutorial, and I am on the lookout for Matisse medium.
Wendy – this is so unusual. The texture and multilayered effect is great
