The style of Monets’ painting is fast and free and full of energy. It seems to show me the air of the garden with its sense of light, and I can imagine the dense smells of many flowers and plants Blooming into my life.
Monet's paintings were not painted alla prima or fast. He worked on the same painting many, many sessions. I do wonder what he would have done if he had been able to use acrylic paints.
Very true. He would often work on a painting only at one time of day to replicate the light, then move on to another. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if he'd had colour photography for reference as well. Thanks for your interest.
wonderful painting! I so appreciate you sharing your talent. It is helpful to me (so late in life) just getting started and feel confident enough to put the brush to the canvas!
I am awestruck by your use of color. It is more beautiful to me than I could convey in words. I would love to know the palette you used. I can only imagine how much better it looks in person...
Ciao.... mi chiamo Lelio , anch'io sono appassionato alla pittura impressionista, in particolare mi piace Monet, mi sono iscritto al suo canale, complimenti per la bellissima dimostrazione, era ciò che cercavo!
Thanks Jake. As this was a demo for a class I used the same paints as I provide for them - 'Studio Acrylic Paint' from Jackson's Art Supplies (UK based). I usually use Golden 'Heavy Body' for my own work.
Hi Belinda - sorry it's taken a while to get back to you. The piano is a piece of royalty -free music by Kevin Macleod - you can get more information in his credit at the end of the video. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
This is a great video! Definitely going to try this. Do you think you could do a Georges Seurat demo in acrylic’s? Or is pointillism not easily achieved with acrylic paint?
I think you can achieve most things with acrylics, but pointillism had a different basis to Monet. I believe Seurat was influenced by the (then) modern printing process of using dots of CMYK in rosette patterns. It's very time consuming and, for me, not as emotional as Monet's painting style. I admire many of Seurat's paintings, but don't have the 'connection' to make me want to try it. Hope that makes sense.
@@jonsephtonatgaleriejs7799 yeah it makes sense. I’m definitely more connected to Monet’s style of Impressionism. I tried to do pointillism but it wore down my patience very fast.
Hi - thanks for the comment and apologies for the delay in replying. The filbert I used mostly was a Pro-Arte hog brush (size 4), although the bigger brush at the start was a synthetic hog, I think by Leonard although the markings have worn away from the handle. Both fairly stiff brushes to help with Monet's dabbing technique of applying the paint.
Hi Cris - sorry it's taken a while to get back to you. The piano is a piece of royalty -free music by Kevin Macleod - you can get more information in his credit at the end of the video. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Hi Ben. There are a couple of reports of the colours Monet used and most are still available although I'm sure formulations will have changed. The National Gallery's report is probably the most exhaustive (www.nationalgallery.org.uk/media/15524/roy2007.pdf). All manufacturers have some slightly different names for their colours, but it would seem Monet's palette was (roughly, after 1860): Lead white (difficult to buy in Europe now, but many offer a 'lead white alternative'), Cobalt violet light, Emerald green (now a safe version - the one Monet used would probably have contained, and given off, arsenic!), French ultramarine, Vermilion (similar to Alizarin Crimson), Cadmium yellow light, Cadmium yellow dark and Lemon yellow. Hope that's some help, Jon.
Hi Naomi. Thanks for your interest. There isn't any more video for this particular piece, although I hope the main steps are covered in the video. It's tempting to follow a demo too closely - experiment a bit and you'll get the feel for it. Good luck with the project!
Hi Mary. They were from Jacksons Art Supplies in the UK. Just their 'student' quality ones as that was what I was providing for the class. I usually use Golden Heavy Body acrylics.
Hi Cy. Thanks for the comments. For the initial background I mixed in a little water, but after that the paints are from the tube. I find acrylics, whatever the quality, always seem a little thinner than oils. The ones I was using were 'student' quality (the demo was originally for an art class), so a little less vivd than some higher quality paints. Apologies for the palette missing. In my other 'style of Monet' video you can see more of the palette: th-cam.com/video/BIj9yMaE_kw/w-d-xo.html
Hi and thanks for the comment. Yes, the brushes are bristles. A softer flat for the underpainting and then a firmer filbert for the rest. If you stand next to an original Monet the brushstrokes are very evident, so it needs a firm bristle to keep the texture.
Merci!!! Je cherche cette peinture sur le site de la liste des ses tableaux mais ne la trouve pas. Pouvez-vous me diriger vers un lien sur internet? Vous expliquez qu'il faille utiliser beaucoup de peinture blanche, ce qui enlève parfois la vivacité des couleurs, pourquoi est-ce nécessaire? Merci bien
Merci pour vos commentaires. Réponse facile pour commencer - voici le fichier que j'ai utilisé comme source : art-monet.com/1901_49.html. Selon mon expérience, j'ai dû utiliser plus de peinture blanche que je ne le pensais, ce qui m'a surpris. Je pense que Monet s'appuie sur le contraste pour ajouter de l'éclat à un grand nombre de ses œuvres, et le fait de mettre des couleurs plus vives à côté de couleurs pâles fait apparaître les couleurs plus riches encore plus fortes.
Fantastically close to Monet in colours and layers; a brilliant demonstration. I really enjoy watching this. Thank you.
Thank you Julia - glad you enjoyed it.
You have the best demonstration/tutorial inspired by Monet - I learned so much - Thank you!!

Your paint looks really thin do you water them down? Or mix it ? You should show your palette as well to show how you mis them
