Cezanne drawing at Moma
If you are in the Mew York area, I highly recommend checking out the Cezanne Drawing exhibit at the MOMA. It shows the studies Cezanne drew to practice his craft and prepare to paint his oil paintings.
His process was actually similar to comics art, as he began with pencil sketches before moving on to inbox and watercolors. And— @buddyscalera —he even used photo reference.
Anyway, it’s a fascinating exploration of the practice of a great artist. I highly encourage all creatives to check it out.

I love, love, love that you are both (a) visiting traditional museums to appreciate art and (b) finding modern relevance with the masters. It’s so important to see all kinds of art and learn from it.
This makes me want to visit a museum again this summer!

I love visiting museums. During the summers when my daughter is off from school, we visit 4-5 a week as part of “Daddy Camp”.
