Cezanne’s eye explored the rhythms set up by the interrelationship of solid form in space, he also had a very finely tuned colour sense. He insisted on working directly from the motif in both his landscapes and still-life paintings and observed everything with analytical intensity. Every colour has a purpose and a role in the overall composition.We will look at some of Cezanne’s paintings and explore the use of colour and rhythm in his paintings and see how we can apply that to our own work. We will be working with oil paint and watercolour.

We will be working with colours similar to Cezanne’s palette: Flake White, Cadmium Yellow Light, Naples Yellow, Yellow Ochre. Raw Sienna, Red Ochre, Cadmium Red, Alizarin Crimson, Viridian, Terre Verte, Ultramarine, Cobalt Blue, Prussian Blue
