Rocks in the Forest, Paul Cezanne

For this assignment we had to find a painting that we liked in the museum, and try to draw it. I chose this one because I was amazed at how Paul Cezanne’s limited use of only a few colors really brought the painting to life. Consequently, however, this made my drawing somewhat difficult, because I was only able to articulate the subtle changes in hue with only a pencil, especially in the leafy areas of the forest. However, I was able to capture the negative space that the sky created pretty well, and that really added movement to the piece.
