Henri Matisse

"Petite Aurore" Henri Matisse (1923)
Drawing
Henri Matisse has a way of capturing his subjects in light very well. I enjoy the style that is given to the piece. How there are different types of shading for different parts of the drawing. This really gives the piece depth. The face is a more precise shading technique while there are parts where it looks scribbled in. But I would not say that it is done with out though. Even though it looks like he did not meticulously hash out every type of fabric in the piece, the shading was definitely done with much thought and precision.
