Excellent Geoff, I really enjoyed your discussion, my ‘thing’ is landscape photography and your analysis of this, one of my favourite paintings, has been really useful, thanks for sharing. Keep them coming 👊🏻👊🏻

What a great explanation of atmospheric perspective ! I really found that fascinating !

[@artmeetsgeoff]

Glad you enjoyed it. It was fun to study and think through.

Another wildly helpful video for a budding painter. Thanks, Geoff! In spite of hearing the atmospheric perspective points before, you have really brought them together in a way that clicks for me much more now - and this painting is a perfect choice to demonstrate comparing and contrasting the technique. Such a wealth of great material here. Thank you!

Thanks so much!

Cézanne is not me . I can only stand him when there are colours_ not pale ones. I've been taught the "structure" of his works but still...

[@artmeetsgeoff]

I understand. I prefer his apples.
