Impressionism

Claude Monet's most famous painting

Today I went to the second workshop of art with Katie and we studied Claude Monet and his art style: Impressionism. This is a type of art which is done by using a flat brush, mixing colours on the canvas and they way he painted which was "tache" which is French for touch. Today most people were doing a lily pad scene which was water using pretty much all of the colours and then mixing blue and yellow (not on the canvas) to create the lily pads. When you are painting you should always remember to do your lily pads and your water different ways. This gives a great stroke effect. I like the style of art Claude Monet did because nothing has to be perfect and it is your impression of what your painting is about.
