I`m doing a course at the moment, and this is part of it, a copy of a painting by Paul Cezanne. I did lose my way with the colouring, and I lost my patience in the end. But it did tell me that Paul Cezanne was a better painter than I had realised. There is seven lessons in this course and this is the second exercise. The next one will be a Landscape, more my cup of tea.
oh Victor, I love Cezanne, I must say your work has the poesie of provance,
ReplyDeletevery good...
Laura, I can`t thank you enough for your wonderful comment. Paul was a fantastic Artist wasn`t he? It gave me a bit of an Headach copying him. In doing so, I noticed all his brilliant work on this piece that I hadn`t noticed before, wonderful. All the best Laura.

Vic,m you are a wonderful artist. I so love this painting that you did and the color is remarkably delicate and sensitive. Cezanne was all of that!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Vic,
ReplyDeleteI think it's a wonderful copy of Cezanne. It's something all of us should be doing, studying the masters. Enjoy your course. You are a fine artist my friend. Thank you for sending me the email on Theresa link. Had computer problems this morning, couldn't get to my emails.
Have a great night.
Joan
Big Cezanne fan here too. You have really hapture the cezanne feel in this painting Vic. Well done. Róisín
ReplyDeleteThank you Joan. Yes, I agree with you about we should do more copying. When I worked in London, I often visited the National Gallery, and there were always plenty of students copying the masters. They seemed always to be mature students. I really wanted to do that myself but didn`t have the courage, fool me eh? Thanks again my friend and all the best.

thank you very much Linda. yes I agree with you that Cezanne was a brilliant Artist. And I didn`t realise how brilliant he was until I copied his painting. I noticed all his fine drawing skills as well. All the best Linda.

Vic you have done a fantastic copy of "Still Life with a Ginger Jar & Eggplants"!!! This is a very complex still life painting...Paul Cezanne is one of my favorite artists. I can't wait to see your landscape painting!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Janice. I must say it did test my patience. I know if I did have the patience, I would be able to do a better job of it. I`m about to start the Landscape painting, so see how that goes. All the best Janice.
