Jill’s view of the Aix Cathedral. The video clips show how she composes and builds her paintings
Jill Steenhuis is an American painter who loves Cézanne. She lives locally with her family and paints in the master’s footsteps. I love her colourful, impressionist-style work with its exuberant brush-strokes and was fascinated to see these two videos, filmed by her son of his mother hard at work in Le Tholonet, creating oil-paintings of Cézanne subjects. Starting work on a blank canvas is deeply scary, so it is interesting to see how a professional attacks that white space!
