Monet

A challenge for Positiv Journal is to do a page in the style of Claude Monet.

I love his paintings but sadly did not manage to see them when they came to London nor have I been to Giverny but that was not going to stop me...

Here's my inspiration 


I've used oil pastels that have been lurking in a drawer since my C&G days for the background 


Blues for the water and some greens to give an idea of the lily pads and then printed off a colouring page for the waterlilies and used the oil pastels again - all in all, not too bad an effort on the colour front  but a huge leap away from the masters art!

  2. Lovely intensity of colour from the oil pastels, and the inspiration is clear as day. Lovely page.
