Monet: Boats at Argenteuil
In this painting Monet wants us to luxuriate in the calm of an afternoon on the river at Argenteuil.
The original.
One of my versions. Simpler. Still nice. You can do a painting like this, or a better one, in 4 hours with my instruction.
Did you know that 92.5 % of Monet's boats are exactly the same shape?
A boat.
By Monet.
I didn't know that either, until I learned this painting. Does that mean Monet couldn't paint boats? Not at all, he was a master draughtsman. But he knew how to tell a story in images, and these paintings are not really directed at the boating fanatic.
I have written an ebook which shows you this lesson, step by step.
Including the boats.
