Blocking
By simplifying the painting we can more clearly appreciate the luminous colour scheme.
We block in the canvas with loose, gestural strokes. Then we glaze the painting and have a nice cup of tea.
Texture
Using Monet's vocabulary of texture we will create a chromatic story of light which captures the essence of the scene.
Colour
