An analogous color scheme pertains to colors that are adjacent on the color system. The painting done by Paul Cézanne “House in Provence (vicinity of L’Estaque) uses the colors blue, green, and yellow. The painting by Cézanne is classified in the impressionist period of art. Cézanne has a distinct way of painting. He outlines most of his images in a black outline compared to Claude Monet another impressionist artist who just lets all of the colors mesh together to create his images. With Cézanne using an analogous color scheme it makes all of the images look alike and unified. But if he had used more of a variety of colors the piece would contain more diversity. But with the use of the analogous colors in this piece the objects complement each other. I think that by using only a variation of the 3 colors adds more depth to the piece than if he had used a variety of colors. The perspective of this piece also helps the analogous color scheme. Cézanne seemed to use a darker variation of the colors in the foreground of the piece and then lighter colors in the background to help further the perspective of a full landscape painting.
