About this session
Picasso said "without Cezanne there would have been no 20th century!" Paint this complex and intriguing still life by Cezanne, whose use of mixed perspective opened the door for cubism.

Excerpts from my interpretation.
Framed in the Inglis Baroque frame.
There is a wealth of colour to play with in this painting. In this corner alone we have warms - pinks and blues, creating a strong colour vibration.
Notice the dissolving edges.
The white cloth picks up all kinds of colour.
You can see the genius of this type of frame as it picks up the warms and emphasises the cools.
Student Paintings
All completed in a 4 hour Gallery Quality Painting session.
Narelle's Cezanne. Her first I believe, and what a great job! She also chose the larger canvas (45 x 60 cm) which provided an additional challenge.
Penny astounded us with this rendition. She chose not to go with Cezanne's 'constructivist' brushstrokes, opting for a more blended and subtle effect and boy oh boy it looks good!
