1. I chose the colour scheme of blue and orange. I chose this because they both oppose each other and therefore make both stand out. It wasn't more dominant then any other colour because these were the only ones I used, but because of the the different hues are bold and stand out
2. I used the colours in the foreground and kept the background white. By making the background white it made the colours on the horse very vibrant and they popped out at the viewer. Again this also makes the different hues and tones mixed in stand out also.
3. I started out by tracing my original horse on the paper and pulling it apart and playing with the shapes. It was very difficult at the beginning to mess up my idea of what a horse should look like and make it abstract and like Matisse. After much sketching I finally came up with a final design. I painted various papers blue and orange and cut out my shapes and pasted them together. Overall the positives for me were that I was able to make a wavy like piece that to me has a resemblance of the Matisse style. The hard part was cutting the shapes and getting the abstract sketch.
