Please let me know if you like this educational video on Claude Monet! I hope you learn lots from my six steps to paint with a more impressionistic style. I’d love to hear from you, so please leave me a comment.
I have watched videos on impressionist painters before and I believe that you cut right to the heart of Monet! I know that you could do a Monet styled painting demo every week and not exhaust this subject! Please return to this subject and style of video presentation any chance you can, thank you.
Monet is my favorite artist! I saw Monet in the St Louis Art Museum when I was about 10 years old and was thrilled. My dad and three brothers were artists, so I grew up loving Art. I love the educational part on Monet in your video. Your art is amazing, so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your work and tutorials. I just discovered you. I know I don't have the artistic ability or talent but,I'm going to try to paint. I just signed up for a class in my area for Monet type painting the garden. I am grieving and hoping this will help me mentally.
This was a beautifully shared lesson - thank you. I have been fortunate to live and work abroad for some years and that meant opportunities to visit many originals in their home museums - and also recommend the 3d experience that tours periodically if you get the chance - Van Gogh was fun & I cannot wait for Monet. My challenge in art seems to be finding my own balance between realism and impressionism - I think your commentary is an encouragement. Thanks!
I saw the Monet exhibit at the Atlanta art museum. It was beyond stunning and what surprised me most at first was the size of some of the paintings they were huge. And when I got close to them they were just splashes of color and kind of formless. And as I backed up toward the center of the gallery they became more and more detailed. And it made me wonder how he stood at arm's length and created these details that he really couldn't see until he was thirty feet back. It was incredibly inspiring and I'm so glad I got to see that. He is the reason I fell in love with impressionism and I'm trying to pick up what I can from his amazing work.
Wow, what a fantastic experience! And I know what you mean about how amazing it is for the painting, to really be viewable from very far away, and so abstract in a way close up. What a blessing to see his work!! I dream of painting, large like that, but my little 10 x 13 studio doesn’t really accommodate it, lol!
I was lucky enough to visit Giverny and Monet's house with wonderful garden. It was so emotional to me, I had tears in my eyes. I felt his presence in every flower. Susan, I wish you could visit this beautiful place one day. You are amazing person and instructor. Thank you for your videos. This painting in Monet style is beautiful. ❤️
Hanna, that must have been such a beautiful and touching experience. And yes, how I would love that! Thank you so much for your kind words, sweetheart. You really make me smile.
Back in 2015 I took a trip to Boston and went to the art museum and got to see several Monets and van Goghs up close. It was so inspiring and incredible. It made me cry.
I was fortunate enough to see the Monet paintings in the oval rooms at the Orangery in Paris. I was moved to tears. It felt like being surrounded by water and flowers.
Susan - hi. I live in England and have been to Paris many times and seen Monet paintings in the Orangerie, Musee d'Orsey and the Louvre. However there is a much smaller museum in Paris (The Marmottam Museum), that houses an impressive array of Monet paintings. I estimate there must be around 50 there. The paintings were gifted to the museum by one of Monet's sons who inherited these paintings and died without an heir. It truly is a magical experience to see so many Monets together in one place. It even has cartoon sketches he did as a young artist to earn money. However the 'jewel in the crown' is that it has the painting that was the birth of impressionism 'Impression Sunrise' - a really moving sight to see this painting. A visit is a must for any Monet fan visiting Paris.
Susan, I watched the video. Monet was such a master, I knew that he painted objects over and over. I think he painted haystack at different times of day to study light. Good video.
Je suis française et Monet est mon artiste préféré il y a tellement de couleurs de lumières différentes de vibrations et ses thèmes se prêtent vraiment aux pastels ..vous êtes une artiste américaine en totale connexion avec ses peintures et votre talent magnifie ses tableaux ..j adore ce que vous faites continuez vous m inspirez avec efficacité et émerveillement
Your homage painting of water lillies is lovely Susan!! I saw some Monet's paintings in the National Gallery of Australia. What stunned me was the 'metallic shimmer' of his pastel colours and how the glowed and 'moved' with the light as I walked around the gallery room. Looking into his paint colours this now makes sense as almost all his colours had a metallic base...lead, chrome, cadmiums, cobalt, copper verdigris....toxic!... but obviously beautiful!!
I live in Europe so I saw so many of his paintings. They are amazing, because u not only can see the painting but also structure and the actual paint on the canvas. Especially the Lili paintings are really something special. I really hope for everyone to experience seeing one of his paintings. In Europe they are literally everywhere and you can see them for 10€ in museums. I was in the live action museum and it’s not just his paintings but also rooms where his paintings are beamed onto the walls and you feel as if you are in his painting. If you ever get the chance to see it, do it. It really changed the way I see his paintings.
I saw his originals in New York at MOMA (Museum of Modern Art). They were surreal, gorgeous, softly lit yet full of light. Our eyes rush back and forth, viewing every brush stroke of strategic colour placement like a dragon fly darting around the water’s surface. A true gift to view! Three of his favourites (the triptych), plus a more recent acquisition and two guest pieces were on view. The triptych spanned 40 feet! It’s like standing in front of his ponds (likely his intent). The single panel “Water Lilies”, is a wide-angle mural displayed directly across from the triptych. At one time, these pieces were like family in his studio, now a world away in downtown Manhattan, staring blindly back at one another,, Monet worked on the triptych pieces over and over again during his last dozen years earth side. You simply must go! Bucket list Susan! 🪷🪷🪷
We visited Monet’s home Giverney France, which had several of his paintings on the walls. The house is lovely, old world France, but it is his garden, maintained in the manner and style he created, that astonishes. It is a lush, bold, glorious riot of color, texture and form. Then,a brief walk through a tunnel under the road and suddenly I walked into the real world of many of Monet’s most loved paintings - the soft light, filtered by surrounding trees, sparkling on the surface of that quiet pool of water covered with water lilies. Sublime.
I too Love Monet and was privileged to see several of his “water lilies” works at the St Louis Art Gallery. The paintings were so large that only 2 or 3 could fit in one gallery. Beautiful doesn’t do them justice. As a young artist I was in awe and found them to be just as special as they are advertised. Impressionism is my favorite painting form. I think that’s why I was first attracted to your lessons. Love the name of your channel so much!! Thank you for showing us so many different approaches to painting with pastels. Love this series so much! You are a wonderful painter and person!! 🧡💛💚💙
Claude Monet is my most Favorite impressionist painter of all. I am so glad to have found your channel. Even just watching you doing it is so relaxing. Sending love & blessings to you.
Hullo Susan, I truly appreciate and enjoy this kind of video! You offer more than a tutorial of put blue for the sky here green for grass like this etc. Delving into the heart/light of the subject is so key to the impressionist style, thank you! I do enjoy watching your videos, see ya next time!
I love Van Gogh ♥ I always remember that episode of Dr.Who which featured a story on Van Gogh, and the last 5 mins of that episode the Dr. Brought Vincent to our current time to a museum with a Van Gogh exhibit and the Dr. Was asking the coordinator about Van Gogh and at the end he was so taken back by this man's appreciation of Van Gogh's works that it brought Vincent to tears..... truly touching... you can find the clip on you tube... the name of the clip is Vincent Van Gogh visits the gallery....
Wow, thank you so much for sharing that! I’m definitely going to look up that TH-cam video. Can’t wait to share my next tutorial where I emulate van Gogh.
My hope for you is to see a Monet original. Many major cities have a museum with at least one Monet, then the treat of a lifetime is to visit Monet’s house and gardens in France. You can stand and see the very bridge he painted so often. As a gardener I was delighted to see that the garden was neat, but not perfectly manicured-lots of beautiful yet slightly messy flower beds. It gave me hope as I’m not the neat and tidy type-I believe there is beauty in the messiness of life, even in painting! I enjoy your paintings and tutorials very much. Thank you!
Living in Europe, we are so lucky to have access to the great impressionists and post impressionists - there is a seurat i used to visit as a student if i needed lifted. However, i do remember in a visit to Boston in 1980s seeking out a museum that had a whole room of Monet paintings - someone Gardiner Museum. Its hard to understand how big USA is, that a trip to Boston is like us visiting Africa - I hope you get to fulfil your dream someday.
I have seen original Monet collection in Frankfurt Germany. My greatest impression of his work see originals instead of grade school posters. I was in awe for a long time after and never lost the admiration of his work.
Thank you for your video! It was super helpful! I'm in Paris and planning to go to the musee l'ornagerie tomorrow to see moneys water lilies. Love your work!
I writed down so many inspiration form your video! Thank you very much for that lesson. I love watching Monet since I was a child. He is still my favourite painter.
Wonderful video, Susan! I was at Giverny when I went to France in 2014 but still have not painted from any of my photos…..maybe your video has inspired me. Monet lived such an interesting life. Being in his gardens and in his home were a deeply meaningful experience for me. 🥰
Love this video and love Monet. I have seen a couple of his original paintings in Europe and they are mesmerizing. No photo or scan can do the vibrancy justice. I will try your pastel technique. Thanks for the inspiration.
Oh Heather, what a blessing for you…there’s nothing like seeing art in person and I’m sure Monet’s work is like a dream! Have fun, and I hope the techniques help!
I was at Louve Museum and Museum Orsay, the Impressionist Museum, and they were amazing! All the impressionist were so creative, yet each one had their own style and colour variations. The paintings were either larger or smaller than I imagined ❤
Hi Susan. I went to Musee d'Orsay during my first trip to Paris in 2016. I loved everything about it, but all my favorite works there were either Monet of Van Gogh. Seeing them in person was really magical. Seeing a photo of one of the paintings isn't the same.. I went on another trip to Paris last year. I made it a point to go back to Musee d'Orsay, where I was disappointed to find out that "Starry Night" was on loan to some other museum. BUT, I also went to L'Orangerie to see Monet's huge mural-sized water lilies paintings. It was really fascinating how different they were from each other, because they depicted different times of day, quality of light, etc. We also went to his gardens in Giverny, which were lovely, but very crowded. It's a major tourist attraction, and there were a few tour busses when we got there. Still wonderful, of course. I strongly urge you to go when you can.
Saw his work in SF and it was just stunning. The brush strokes amazing. The color brilliant. Photos NEVER come close to any painting of the masters or the impressionists. Standing back the paintings just jumped out at you.
Thank you for your video. Enjoyed it. Yes I am so grateful to have been to Monet’s studio and gardens in France and seen his original works. So inspiring. A must go for all artists!
I was lucky to see one in a museum in NY, it was amazing. You should treat your self to a showing 😊. Thank you for wonderful lessons,I have picked my pastels again; it had been years.
Thank you Susan! I love realism, but subscribed to your channel a few years ago partly because you are a believer and partly because you are a caring teacher who researches materials, methods, and techniques for us. Now, you have inspired both my wife and me with this video and your links. I am just getting back to my artistic skills at 78 (Moses was 80!), and my wife suddenly burst with creative ideas for me to paint spiritual subjects in an impressionist style. I very much appreciate your focus on Monet's obsession with light, since, as Apostles James and John said, our Heavenly Father is Light and the father of lights (us) (James 1:17; 1 John 1:5)! I am subscribing to your Patreon page to learn more from you. I add my voice of encouragment to please do as many Monet and impressionist lessons as you can. I believe Monet's focus on light helped lead to abstract art, which (unlike some incoherent "modern" abstract "art") focuses on the abstraction of elements (color, lightforms, shape, texture, etc.) from objects, arranging them in a compostion that, like impressionism, should tell a visual story. Again, you have inspired us! Thank you, JC
Those are some great initials you have there, brother! I absolutely love your comments and totally agree about Monet‘s obsession with light. That’s so cool how are you compared it to the books of James and John! Our Heavenly Father is indeed the Father of lights. I can tell you have a deep knowledge of scripture. Your comments about Monet’s work are spot on and one of the reasons I love his work so much. I’m so excited for you and your wife and your artistic journey with pastel painting! Bless you for becoming a patron of mine and I can’t wait to see some of your work in our beautiful, artistic family. God be with you brother and I just love how he connects us in Spiritual ways like this. Tell your wife hello for me and happy painting, brother!
i have seen about 10 monet paintings. All the ones in AUstria and Germany I have seen, it is the best thing my eyes have seen. I also saw the waterlilly painting that was auctioned in 2008 it is a part of the special display in Vienna from dec 2023 till feb 2024
Your piece is so beautiful. I truly hope you’re able to see a Monet in real life one day. I had the privilege of seeing a Monet exhibit when I was a teenager (my dad loves art and took me to see the exhibit) and I credit Monet with my lifelong love of art and Impressionism.
I was extremely impressed with the Monet painting of water Lillie’s. Not only did it pop off the canvas, but the sheer size of the canvas was impressive.
This is ,my first time watching your video. I love Monet and was lucky enough to see a few of his paintings at the MET in NY. I just subscribed to your channel, looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
YAY!! Thank you! @NancyArsenault1 Comments like this are part of why I do this. I love insiring others, especially in their art journey! Thank you for your sweet comment! And thank you for your support! Bless you! I can't wait to see what you create!!
Enjoyed this Susan, a lovely perspective. I do feel for you not having seen an original. They are just visions, I hope you complete your dream soon, best to you Paul
Hi!! First of all, I wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge and your skills with us, I thouroughly enjoyed watching this video, and for sure I will subscribe to your channel! Can't wait to see more of your great videos! Four days ago I saw a couple of Claude's paintings in Albertina Museum in Vienna, Austria, and let me tell you, I was just speechless.. it was an incredible moment for me, emerging artist, to see the paintings of one of my favorite artists in person. A couple of years ago I saw his paintings in NY in MoMA, but back then I haven't thought that I will become so passionate about art and that I will start painting on my own. Now, it's on my bucket list to visit Paris again and to go to Musee d'Orsay, which has the largest collection of works by Monet, over fourty paintings! And also, I really wish to visit Monet's house and his wonderful garden, where he used to paint his masterpieces. Warm regards from Poland, Mary
I was able to visit Giverny and the fabulous gardens. Apparently he planted his garden so that would have flowers all year long. The house had copies of his works done by students of his work. I did see a few originals on display at Expo 67 in Montreal. Love,love his work but only started painting after I retired some 6 years ago.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing this, a few years ago i went to Paris and saw the full exhibition of Monet work wish was magical so if you ever go to Louvre museum you’ll be so amazed, Monet art work is soo incredible in person.. 😊
@@monetcafe it’s really was! I recorded it all and still dream to go back again! I hope you can go too it’s something that must be experienced in person!
Your work is very nice! Anyone can paint a Monet, but usually it lacks that painterly quality, that elevates it. Sometimes the general publuc can't tell the difference, but for a trained eye there it is! Great work! 🙂 Migolette
I love your videos, thank you! Monet is one of my favorite artists. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. has almost 30 Monet paintings - not all always on display. It is free to get in and definitely worth going to see!
Susan this is really really wonderful. I love your paintings, all of them. 🤩 Monet was a great artist and I like the vibrations in his paintings. I never saw a really Monet, but in May I will see some really Vermeers in Amsterdam. 🤩🤩🤩 I love your tutorials! Greatings from Germany! Sabine

This was a beautifully shared lesson - thank you.

I saw the Monet exhibit at the Atlanta art museum. It was beyond stunning and what surprised me most at first was the size of some of the paintings they were huge.

You are just the BEST, Susan. Much love and many thanks for all you share!
You are so welcome… bless you Sandra!
Congrats to you and Monet
Susan, I watched the video. Monet was such a master, I knew that he painted objects over and over. I think he painted haystack at different times of day to study light. Good video.
I saw many times Monets works, they are breathtaking.

I went to Musee d'Orsay during my first trip to Paris in 2016. I loved everything about it, but all my favorite works there were either Monet of Van Gogh. Seeing them in person was really magical. Seeing a photo of one of the paintings isn't the same..
I went on another trip to Paris last year. I made it a point to go back to Musee d'Orsay, where I was disappointed to find out that "Starry Night" was on loan to some other museum. BUT, I also went to L'Orangerie to see Monet's huge mural-sized water lilies paintings. It was really fascinating how different they were from each other, because they depicted different times of day, quality of light, etc.
We also went to his gardens in Giverny, which were lovely, but very crowded. It's a major tourist attraction, and there were a few tour busses when we got there. Still wonderful, of course.
I strongly urge you to go when you can.
Saw his work in SF and it was just stunning. The brush strokes amazing. The color brilliant. Photos NEVER come close to any painting of the masters or the impressionists. Standing back the paintings just jumped out at you.
🙂 🙂 🙂 ❤, @goldenstatepicker WOW.... I bet that was a great experience!
Your painting is beautiful 😍. It's wonderful to see your flow! Really inspiring. Many many thanks 😊
My inspiration 😍🎨🎨🎨
Beautiful as always. Thank you.
Thank you so much for making videos like this
Thanks for the wonderful video ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for your video. Enjoyed it. Yes I am so grateful to have been to Monet’s studio and gardens in France and seen his original works. So inspiring. A must go for all artists!
Yes I saw a Monet painting in the tate modern in london. It was breathtaking absolutely mesmerising 🧚♀️
I was lucky to see one in a museum in NY, it was amazing. You should treat your self to a showing 😊. Thank you for wonderful lessons,I have picked my pastels again; it had been years.
Thank you Susan!
I love realism, but subscribed to your channel a few years ago partly because you are a believer and partly because you are a caring teacher who researches materials, methods, and techniques for us.
Now, you have inspired both my wife and me with this video and your links. I am just getting back to my artistic skills at 78 (Moses was 80!), and my wife suddenly burst with creative ideas for me to paint spiritual subjects in an impressionist style.
I very much appreciate your focus on Monet's obsession with light, since, as Apostles James and John said, our Heavenly Father is Light and the father of lights (us) (James 1:17; 1 John 1:5)!
I am subscribing to your Patreon page to learn more from you. I add my voice of encouragment to please do as many Monet and impressionist lessons as you can.
I believe Monet's focus on light helped lead to abstract art, which (unlike some incoherent "modern" abstract "art") focuses on the abstraction of elements (color, lightforms, shape, texture, etc.) from objects, arranging them in a compostion that, like impressionism, should tell a visual story.
Again, you have inspired us! Thank you,
JC
Those are some great initials you have there, brother! I absolutely love your comments and totally agree about Monet‘s obsession with light. That’s so cool how are you compared it to the books of James and John! Our Heavenly Father is indeed the Father of lights. I can tell you have a deep knowledge of scripture. Your comments about Monet’s work are spot on and one of the reasons I love his work so much.
I’m so excited for you and your wife and your artistic journey with pastel painting! Bless you for becoming a patron of mine and I can’t wait to see some of your work in our beautiful, artistic family. God be with you brother and I just love how he connects us in Spiritual ways like this. Tell your wife hello for me and happy painting, brother!
I saw the Monet exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago back in the late 1980's. I really loved it. Saw LOTS of haystacks. ;)
Yes, I was visiting a museum and saw several Monet paintings!!!
🙂 🙂 🙂 ❤, @allanagoodyear8878
ive seen an original monet in the national art gallery in London. so lucky. i appreciate the experience so much.
@sabahatnaheed1435 how amazing!
i have seen about 10 monet paintings. All the ones in AUstria and Germany I have seen, it is the best thing my eyes have seen. I also saw the waterlilly painting that was auctioned in 2008 it is a part of the special display in Vienna from dec 2023 till feb 2024
Awesome @lakshmikesari7867, I bet that was amazing!
Your piece is so beautiful. I truly hope you’re able to see a Monet in real life one day. I had the privilege of seeing a Monet exhibit when I was a teenager (my dad loves art and took me to see the exhibit) and I credit Monet with my lifelong love of art and Impressionism.
My husband and I got to see a Monet exhibition in Rome, definitely one of the highlights of my life
So cool! I can't wait to see Monet's work in person one day!
I was extremely impressed with the Monet painting of water Lillie’s. Not only did it pop off the canvas, but the sheer size of the canvas was impressive.
Merci beaucoup. I breezed through the Monet collection at the chicago art institute back in the 90s. I felt the colours vibrate qhe
This is ,my first time watching your video. I love Monet and was lucky enough to see a few of his paintings at the MET in NY. I just subscribed to your channel, looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
YAY!! Thank you! @NancyArsenault1 Comments like this are part of why I do this. I love insiring others, especially in their art journey! Thank you for your sweet comment! And thank you for your support! Bless you! I can't wait to see what you create!!
Just commenting to say thanks and hope you keep the videos up! This is great
Thank you, Dylan! I’m going to do my best to keep the lessons coming.
Enjoyed this Susan, a lovely perspective. I do feel for you not having seen an original. They are just visions, I hope you complete your dream soon, best to you Paul
Blessings, Paul. Thank you for your lovely comment
Beautiful work very informative.😊
Thanks a lot 😊
Wow, that was fantastic thank you ... I love Monet as well. So glad I found your channel. Subbed
Awesome, thank you!
Hi!! First of all, I wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge and your skills with us, I thouroughly enjoyed watching this video, and for sure I will subscribe to your channel! Can't wait to see more of your great videos! Four days ago I saw a couple of Claude's paintings in Albertina Museum in Vienna, Austria, and let me tell you, I was just speechless.. it was an incredible moment for me, emerging artist, to see the paintings of one of my favorite artists in person. A couple of years ago I saw his paintings in NY in MoMA, but back then I haven't thought that I will become so passionate about art and that I will start painting on my own. Now, it's on my bucket list to visit Paris again and to go to Musee d'Orsay, which has the largest collection of works by Monet, over fourty paintings! And also, I really wish to visit Monet's house and his wonderful garden, where he used to paint his masterpieces. Warm regards from Poland, Mary
Wow, thanks so much for sharing that! What a blessing. And I really hope you get to go back to Paris!
I was able to visit Giverny and the fabulous gardens. Apparently he planted his garden so that would have flowers all year long. The house had copies of his works done by students of his work. I did see a few originals on display at Expo 67 in Montreal. Love,love his work but only started painting after I retired some 6 years ago.
Soooo good!! Thank You!
Thank you so much, @dulcebelizeweddings2987! I'm so glad you liked it! Happy Painting!
lovely video and very helpful thank you
You are so welcome! I appreciate that Wendy and happy painting.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing this, a few years ago i went to Paris and saw the full exhibition of Monet work wish was magical so if you ever go to Louvre museum you’ll be so amazed, Monet art work is soo incredible in person.. 😊
🙂 🙂 🙂 ❤, @alera520 What incredibleble experience that must have been!
@@monetcafe it’s really was! I recorded it all and still dream to go back again! I hope you can go too it’s something that must be experienced in person!
Your work is very nice! Anyone can paint a Monet, but usually it lacks that painterly quality, that elevates it. Sometimes the general publuc can't tell the difference, but for a trained eye there it is! Great work! 🙂 Migolette
Awesome @sgrouev7907, I appreciate that so much!
This is so beautiful
Thanks so much! :)
I love your videos, thank you! Monet is one of my favorite artists. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. has almost 30 Monet paintings - not all always on display. It is free to get in and definitely worth going to see!
Super 👍👍
🙂 🙂 🙂 ❤, @DrawingByArtisticActivities
Susan this is really really wonderful. I love your paintings, all of them. 🤩 Monet was a great artist and I like the vibrations in his paintings. I never saw a really Monet, but in May I will see some really Vermeers in Amsterdam. 🤩🤩🤩
I love your tutorials! Greatings from Germany! Sabine
This was super helpful! I need to learn to be free with color.
My dogs name is Chloe Monet. I love Monet also!
Seen his work in NY and in Vienna 🇦🇹.
Glad it was helpful! And I love your dog’s name!
I just found a complete new 80 set of Sennelier pastels at a garage sale for $5.00! I just found you and I’m hooked!
Wonderful lm amazing video and tal
Thank you so much, Mary Christophi! I'm so glad you liked it! Happy Painting!
