Merry Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend! I did! Today I'm sharing my attempt at studying a Cezanne watercolor study of an apple. It's for week 2 of the Studying with the Masters Class (see sidebar for link) with Teresa Sheeley. Once again, I chose something different from what she shared in her demo. I used mostly Chinese watercolors in my mixed media sketchbook for the practice.
I'm sure Cezanne's watercolor was on toned paper. Mine wasn't, and I used totally different colors to get my colors, I'm sure. None of these practices are simple, but...
I started with a very loose sketch...
and I forgot to make pictures of the process on this one, but this is a picture of Cezanne's version and my version...
plus a closer view of my version. I'm learning and getting in a lot of practice on color mixing in these classes, and also learning new brush strokes as I go. Lots of layering! Every time I look, I see something else to incorporate. I think one could spend months on one painting and still not get everything in. After all, the masters often spent years on one painting.
I enjoyed getting to know Cezanne and his process a little better through this painting, and have become a bigger fan of his work as a result.
Also sharing on Creative Every Day and Paint Party Friday (Links on sidebar)!
