By painting our own interpretations of Monet's Water Lilies we have a great opportunity to develop our control of hard versus soft textures, all in a swirling world of colour.

In the latter period of his life Monet settled on an estate at Giverny. He designed a garden with oriental motifs, flower beds and lily ponds that showcased the colours and textures of flowers.

Monet's Water Lilies (Fr. Nymphae) ran to over 250 paintings. They are very relaxing to paint, and offer a lot of scope for playing with colour and texture.
