Paul Cezanne
This painting finally got my understanding of Cezanne to a new level. Every mark matters. 90% done with a palette knife.
One of my most influential artists.

Chaim Soutine
Another of my most influential artists. What a painter!
After numerous complete failures I realised that the only way to attempt a Soutine is with complete conviction and speed. Trust what you feel and cut out the thinking, assuming you have done the planning.
