Terraces as Facets
The same slopes rebuilt from short blocky parallel strokes, the terraces becoming faceted planes with bare canvas showing between them.
How this was made
This piece began with a photograph and a written instruction. Both are kept, so the record is complete rather than flattering.
THE PROMPT AND THE SETTINGS
PROMPT
POSITIVE: Repaint this terraced hillside landscape as a late Paul Cezanne oil painting, c. 1900, in the manner of the Mont Sainte-Victoire series. Rebuild the entire scene from constructive brushwork: short, blocky, parallel diagonal strokes of flat unblended colour laid side by side like tiles. The terraces become faceted geometric planes of viridian, olive, yellow ochre, raw sienna and pale gold rather than receding illusionistic bands. Mountains built from angular patches of cobalt, slate blue and lavender. Sky reduced to open flat strokes of pale blue, cream and thin unpainted canvas showing through. Space flattened and tipped upward; the hut a simple ochre geometric block with a slate roof. Cool structural palette, no smooth blending, no atmospheric haze, visible bare canvas gaps between strokes, analytical proto-Cubist solidity. NEGATIVE: (none)
