Cezanne Quotes: Sketch 1

The first quote I chose to sketch was,"It's so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas."  In this sketch I went pretty literal according to the quote.  The reason for this was because I felt that the image would go along with the strength and meaning of the quote.  The sketch is simple, a man, standing in front of what is an oversized canvas.  The reason I made the canvas larger was to emphasize the importance of the quote.  It is so fine to stand in front of a blank canvas because it provides you with all of the opportunities in the world.  It allows you to take advantage of everything in your life.  On the other hand it is terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas because sometimes we are unsure of what to do or think, or what comes next in our lives.  At times a blank canvas could represent the daunting fear of what the future could hold, or it could represent the lack of effort or creativity in life's tasks.
