This keeps your colors clean.

Different painting mediums require different loading techniques. Give it at least half your canvas space.

Horizon lines work best when placed off-center. Senare så började Monet göra seriemålningar, och flera av målningarna var i samma motiv men i varierande ljus, väder och olika tidpunkter på dagen.

This builds your visual memory for how colors change.

Paint without looking at your canvas sometimes. Det han blev inspirerad av där var nog alla fina växter och träd som fanns i trädgården som han målade av hela livet i olika motiv och tidpunkter. He used palette knives for mixing and scraping back paint.

Avoid detail brushes initially.

Focus on major light and shadow patterns before attempting complex scenes.

Practice color mixing and brush loading techniques daily. This lets you capture different lighting conditions accurately.

Multiple Session Strategies

Work on paintings at the same time each day if you plan multiple sessions.

Write down the dominant temperature, main colors, and light direction.

Developing Artistic Observation Skills

Look for color in shadows. Detta kallas för ”impressionismen”.

A well-loaded brush gives you several good strokes before reloading.

Wipe excess paint on the edge of your palette, not back into the color pile. Mixed colors on the palette often turn muddy.

Use small touches of pure color throughout your painting. Natural light changes color and direction constantly throughout the day.

Documenting Light Conditions

Take photos of your setup every fifteen minutes while painting outdoors.

Flat brushes work best for broad color areas, while filbert brushes give you the flexibility to create both sharp edges and soft blends.

Round brushes handle detail work and line variation. They’re filled with the complement of whatever color the light source is casting.

If your sunlight is warm yellow, paint cool purple in the shadows.

He brings over 30 years of experience in sketching, painting, and art competitions. (86 år) Claude Monet var en fransk konstnär som målade mycket landskapsmålningar och vardagshändelser. Control this throughout your painting.

Lost and found edges create mystery and keep the viewer engaged. Monet blev nog också inspirerad av hans näckrosdamm som han målade av mest i olika vinklar och tidpunkter.

When it goes off, step back and evaluate whether more work will help or hurt.

Maintaining Spontaneity

Your first mark often captures the most energy.
