Henri Matisse

When working on collages the image of Matisse with scissors kept coming up in my mind. There is a great documentary on YouTube about him here.

Gottfried Bammes suggests to do studies using charcoal powder and ...your finger. It's actually a great way to do quick sketches. Never heard of this method before, but I liked it.

Gottfied Bammes book

For quite some time I had a PDF version of this book in German. Had a few failed attempts to translate it. Now it has finally got translated. Bought it on Amazon for less than $40. I think it's a great deal. Tons of material!
