Volume 2 of The Artist Collective centers around the art of still life, drawing inspiration from the vibrant, expressive work of Henri Matisse. This volume encourages you to slow down, observe, and find beauty in ordinary objects – transforming bowls of fruit, flowers, and textiles into compelling works of art. You'll explore creative lessons on curating and arranging still-life scenes, sketching from life, working with light and shadow, and experimenting with color. Whether gathering inspiration from your surroundings or diving into new techniques, this volume is designed to spark fresh ideas and deepen your connection to the creative process.
