Creating the Illusion of Surface and Textures

Title: Still Life With a Ginger Jar
By: Paul Cezanne
Value
(Painters use highlights (tints), mid-tones, and shadows (shades) to represent the planes they see in a form. They also vary between these three values to show the surface of an object changes across its surface.)
In this painting you can see the shadow of all the different objects. using the shadow you can see the folds of the textures. In the white cloth you can see some greenish-blue highlights. In the white cloth there is also a mixture of greyish-green mid-tones and light black shadowing in the foldes. When you look at the fruit you can see in where the light is coming from because of the direction the shadows of the fruits are going. Also he used the light brown highlights, mid-tones, and dark brownish-green shadowing to show that the drawer of the cradensa in open.
Edges
(Painters vary the way they represent the edge of an object to capture its essence whether that is what the object is made of or its weight, etc.)
When you look at the two different clothes; blue and white clothes. You can see that the blue, black, and a bit of white is heavier than the white cloth. The blue cloth actually looks more like a fancy table cloth where as the white cloth just looks like a simple light weight cloth. When you look at the green object infront of the dark green vase, the painter makes it look likes its heavy, maybe just as heavy as a bowling ball. Now when you look at the two vases; dark green vase and the blue, beige and white vase. It seems like the green vase it much heavier than the blueish-beige vase.
Brushwork
The reason why i think that the green vase looks heavier than the blueish-beige vase is because the impasto (real texture created by layering paint on top of paint to build thickness) brush strokes create the illusion of thickness.
The blending for the cradensa seems to be blended with a dry brush (when colors are mixed together using a dry brush to create a subtle change in color) Where as the white cloth seems like it was blended wet paint into wet paint. (when colors are mixed together on the canvas with short brushstrokes) What i like about the fruit is that it seems to use both a dry brish and wet paint into wet paint.
