Impressionist Technique to Try – Light and Colour
Day 8
Claude Monet often painted in series, making many pictures of the same subject at different times throughout the day and in different seasons to see how the lighting affected his paintings. Look at these paintings of the Rouen Cathedral and see how the lighting changed the colours Monet used.
Here is my Dandelions project, where I explored light and its effects on one subject – dandelions.
This is the 8th post in a 31 Day Series: 31 Days Inspired by Impressionism.

Loving your 8 days so far Eva.
Thank you Jan!
Monet’s one of my inspirations too. I’m glad you mtneioned the often forgotten idea of making art that’s beautiful, not art that has to necessarily mean something. Beauty itself is meaning enough, in my opinion. Reminds me of this Monet quote: “People discuss my art and pretend to understand as if it were necessary to understand, when it’s simply necessary to love.”
Oh Eva! Your dandelion images are full of freedom, and light, and movement! I really love them!
Thank you Anne!
