In this art project our class was asked to recreate a piece of Monet's paintings. His choice of color and the way he applied the paint was the start of impressionism. In my pieces that I added to the painting I used similar colors as Monet and always the way he applied his paints. The shadow under the water lilies, shown above, is also shown in his work. It also shows the appearance of water. I learned that the way he applied his paint was a huge component in the way he achieved his works.
