Art Project #6, Claude Monet's Pastel: Broad Landscape, Part 4

In this demonstration, we talk about ways to get the clouds to have that wispy effect, as well as discuss Monet's artistic style, which was Impressionism. Keep in mind, as an Impressionistic artist, Monet was all about color and light and how to achieve that through the sense of putting colors on top of each other (at times blending them) and at other times letting them sit on each other.

In one of Monet's series of work (meaning lots of the same motif/thematic imagery) he sat for hours and hours watching the sun set and the sun rise, sitting out in the cold. In one of his series, he studied and painted haystacks again and again in different seasons, including winter, attempting to capture the finite elusiveness of light and color. Incredible. Monet is one of my favorites. I hope you have enjoyed this and I look forward to seeing your work! I hope you've had a good experience in using pastel. Thank you!
