This is Matisse's studio at its most serene, a painter's room filled with the things he loved most: flowers, sculpture, colour, and light. Painted circa 1919, it is one of the finest examples of his interior still life work, and as a \u003cstrong\u003epaint by numbers for adults\u003c\/strong\u003e it is the most compositionally balanced and accessible work in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/famous-art-paint-by-numbers\" title=\"Famous Art Paint by Numbers UK\"\u003eFamous Art collection\u003c\/a\u003e.

The deep cerulean blue of the studio wall is one of the most satisfying large sections to fill in our \u003cstrong\u003efloral paint by numbers\u003c\/strong\u003e range, and once it is established, the flowers emerge with an intensity that is entirely Matisse's intention. In the 36 and 48-colour versions, the individual blooms have their own tonal mapping, giving you the loose, confident brushwork of the original.

Matisse painted it not as white but as a complex of blue-greys and cool shadows, its classical form dissolving slightly into the blue background behind it. In the 48-colour version, the tonal transitions across the torso are fully mapped, and painting a sculptural form in cool shadow against a cool background is precisely the kind of subtle challenge that separates an experienced painter from a beginner.

The torso is painted in cool blue-grey tones that sit very close in value to the background, and wet-into-wet application will blur the edges you need to keep clean. Establishing the blue first and painting the torso against a dry background is the key to the composition reading correctly.
