I tried to copy the artist through his shapes and colorations. For the shapes I tried to keep them (the lily pads) more as ovals with varying widths and depths. As for the colorations, I tried to keep the lily pads a greenish shades with hints of blue for the darks and oranges and yellows for lights. he part that I enjoyed the most and found the most successful of the lily pads was the flowers, where I figured out how to cool down the rose pink with a little touch of blue.

This portion is Monet-ish because of the quick and simple brush marks that make it up. it also displays colors similar to those that monet used. The vivid green that I used on the lily pads were made using yellow and green. They abide in the sunlit portion of the painting so that is why they are so bright. The striated background is also very typical of Monet's pond pictures.

Sam's Monet

My portion of the painting resembles Monet's style because the of the directionality and proportion of the lilys. I chose to paint in an area that was backed with brighter colors. The lilys had to relate to the background color in terms of value. I feel that the yellows and paler colors compliment the background appropriately.

I believe that my portion of the painting looks much like Monet's work for several different reasons. Monet uses long brush strokes that resemble what we have learned in painting class to be dry brush. In the lily pads that I have painted I tried to use the same technique. Also what is usually seen in Monet's work is his use of complementary colors which I have tried to do in my painting because with the red and green. A last part of painting that Monet uses often in his artwork is making the lily pads go in the opposite direction of the background brush strokes. Through these examples I learned how to think and paint like Monet.

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.
