In this start-to-finish painting demonstration, join artist Betsy Dillard Stroud as you learn to paint in the style of Henri Matisse! You’ll explore elements of style from the master’s love of bold composition and design to his later habit of simplifying his paintings, and with Betsy’s inspiring instruction to lead the way, you’ll be amazed at what you can create. Starting with bold, flat areas of color, Betsy shows you how to create a foundation and structure perfect for adding bright patterns later on. Then take your work to the next level by adding symbols that have meaning for you, giving the painting a personal, expressive touch. Finally, Betsy demonstrates how to bring it all together for a finished painting you’ll be proud of!

I really enjoyed this video. I did not enjoy the streaming. I had problems with streaming and will not be purchasing any more videos that stream. I will either download or buy the DVD. The instruction with this video was great once I was able to view it without it starting and stopping every 3 or 4 seconds. The streaming issue definitely ruined this for me. The concept of this site is a good one but there are issues that need to be addressed if it is to continue. Like I said, I will only purchase future videos for download or on DVD. My internet connection is great no issues there, I get high speed at 8.15 mbps and I know how to clear the cache. The problems are with this site, not my equipment. All in all, I guess I am happy with my purchase. I would recommend this video to anyone considering it.

Betsy is a good teacher, but I thought a lot of the time she spent painting before she began showing us how to do Mattisse could have been shortened. There was really no need for us to watch her painting a lot of the first part. The second part was quite interesting watching her put on the stamps. change colors and put in patterns.

Very happy to see Betsy's process, sharing her tips and insights almost as if one would be sitting right next to her! I love her classes and hope to see more from her. Thank you Betsy!

I love Betsy Dillard Stroud and I always learn something from watching her design, compose, and paint her art. Her use of color gives us permission to experiment, like she says its acrylic and if it doesn't work you can just paint over it. I also love that she uses her own hand carved stamps, showing us many ways to use a stamp or part of a stamp. Is it too much to hope she has another video coming out? Thank you Betsy!
