 Day 3 of Post-Impressionism Art Camp had us painting a copy of one of Cezanne’s Still Life with Apples.  The young artists did a fabulous job with color mixing.

Then we did a quick miniature painting of a barn and even framed it. 

Day 4 we spent almost the entire morning working on a copy of Matisse’s Red Fish.   I love Matisse and while it was the hardest painting we have done in camp so far, the young artists did GREAT!   For the final day of camp we are doing our “masterpiece”, an extra-large painting of Van Gogh’s Starry Night.    I’ll share it with you in the next post.  Stay tuned!
