Watercolor and Pastel Mixed-media Artwork

Thursday, December 3 -
We talked about the French impressionist painter Claude Monet and looked at images of his work. We observed his free and open style, thick brushstrokes and use of color. Then the girls each chose a photograph of a landscape and created these Monet-inspired pictures. The background was completed using watercolor paints and the details were created with oil-pastels over the watercolor painting. It was both messy and fun!
