DESCRIPTION:
I recommend this book for all beginner artists, as well as anybody who loves Monet and wants to discover how to paint in his style and get to grips with acrylics. All the five projects come with lists of everything you need to buy as well as a multitude of captioned photographs showing every infinitesimal stage in the paintings. Three of the tracings (including the one you do by yourself) depict Giverny scenes, the others show a poppy field, a bridge scene and Venice's Grand Canal. Myshelf . Of course Monet did not use acrylics as they did not yet exist, but the point of this series is not to slavishly copy exactly but to take away from the projects some knowledge used by the old masters.

Monet Best Bought this in an artist store while in France. It was in French and I had been translating it. Glad to find it in English. We had visited Monet lily pond and garden. We also saw the different sights that he painted and took lots of pictures and bought in his gift shop a book on his garden and another on his paintings. Even though this book is for acrylic painters, we are adapting it for watercolor. My wife likes the scene with the Japanese Bridge and the Lily Pond.

I find Monet's paintings, along with those of Renoir, to be the most appealing of all the Impressionists. His use of color and subject matter are truly awesome.So I bought this book to try to emulate some of his work (they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery). Because I liked the composition and theme, I chose to do the Bridge at Argenteuil. I did not use the tracing paper, but instead did my composition freehand with 8B pencil. I skipped a few steps but tried to duplicate the master's brushstrokes. Overall, the painting came out good and I framed it. My clouds c. Amazon Customer said Great fun so far. I got this because I am home-schooling in a cooperative. We are studying the masters and Monet certainly falls into that category. This book gives a little information on the impressionist style and Monet's life. The step by step directions are clear and there are pictures of each step along the way. Since we are just now tracing the patterns onto the canvases, I can't say how successful the children will be. I do know that they are enjoying learning and having fun painting like Monet.
Admirers of Monet will be able to produce impressive versions of famous paintings for themselves in acrylics with Noel Gregory's expert guidance and useful tracings.
