Lex's Monet

My piece of the painting resembles Monet's work in several ways. One of those ways includes the color. The color of the lily pads kind of goes along with the colors of the water in the background. The background is kind of dark so i made the lily kind of dark. Monet used multiple colors in the flowers so I tried to do that as well using pinks, oranges, and yellows. The shadows under the lily pads are also similar to Monet's with the dark colors and the kind of "C" shape. Lastly I tried to follow Monet's loose brushstrokes.
