Heliographic Prints - a study of Henri Matisse
Sun Painting or Heliographic Art is a process whereby certain fabric paints are applied to fabric and while still wet, objects like stencils, leafs, feathers etc are placed onto the wet fabric. It is then placed in the sun. the outlines of the objects are transferred to the fabric. Artists will study the cut paper works of Matisse and use them as inspiration for their own cut paper stencils to create prints on canvas.
