Back in 2014, I was taking a class called Studying Under the Masters, and I fell head over heels with the portraits of Henri Matisse. I wanted to paint just like that…and so he inspired me with color. He still does.

Paloma – 5 x 7 inch acrylic on gessobord

Elle – 5 x 7 inch acrylic portrait on gessobord

Alena – 5 x 7 inch acrylic portrait on gessobord

I painted these three at the same time. I love using the same color palette, yet changing it up three different ways. I hope to do more painting like this in the near future.

All three of these colorful portraits are now available in my Etsy shop, ArtcyLucy.
