Henri Matisse made gouaches decoupes (paintings from cut outs) which he liked to describe as "painting with scissors."  BLUE NUDE was one the many famous paintings from this time.

 Here is one of my "paintings with scissors."

Supplies:

canvas

paper for acrylic paint

acrylic paint

paint brushes

glue

scissors

Look at some of Matisse's gouaches decoupes paintings for inspiration.

Paint canvas a color you want for your background. Now paint several pieces of paper different colors. Let dry. Cut out shapes. Glue onto canvas. Let dry.
