Claude Monet - Water Lilies


This is a gorgeous painting, looking so real, yet capturing the beauty of the flower, water lilies. Claude Monet was an impressionist. But it was his clever techniques that brought his pieces of work alive. When painting flowers, he would simply put dot of paint on them, so from far away they looked very real. A technique used today, which is very easy once you know how to do it. 
  Monet liked painting water especially. Most of his pieces had water in them. But the way the water was painting was amazing. As you can see in this painting, there are the reflections of the water lilies, and then the water. He made it look so real. 
  So there you go, Claude Monet's Water Lilies.
