Paul Cezanne-Inspred Landscapes
Saturday, June 11th, 2022 from 10:30-3:00 PM led by Zoya Scholis
Course Description
What’s so special about Cezanne? Cezanne formed the bridge between impressionism and cubism. Picasso is said to have remarked that Cezanne "is the father of us all". He used planes of color and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. The paintings convey Cezanne's intense study of his subjects. In this workshop we will use flat brushes, palette knives and a methodical approach to explore Cezanne’s techniques for painting landscape.
