2) The only pattern that I used was the purple and yellow in the horse. The main body and the front and back leg were purple. The mane, tail and the two middle legs were yellow. I did this to add some variety rather than emphasis or a focal point.
3) The painting started off as a real portrait of a horse. I then transferred it to the nutex sheet. Once it was on the nutex, I distorted it into Matisse's type of style. Once that was done, I created a fitting background on a seperate nutex sheet and started painting. A difficulty that came by me was making the colour brown for the mountain the horse is standing on. It took a while for me to get the right colour. Once I got it, I transferred the Matisse horse to pieces of nutex, that I painted different colours, and cut the horse pieces out. Then I glued the pieces on and got a product. I thought it looked too plain so I added blue stars to improve it. I made the stars blue because it would be complementary with the orange.
