To you, the gentleman nice enough to show techniques and giving advice, some comments here are uncalled for, likely by people who have no creativity in them, and not interested at all. There are trolls everywhere and if I were you, I wouldn't allow people to comment. I know good people would pay for the ignorant ones, but you shouldn't be wasting your time on idiots. Keep up the great work. I'm a self taught artist, paint with watercolour, acrylic and oil, mastered all three and will never share what I do. One, because I have my own style and refuse to be copied, or sell my work. I have just under 900 (mostly detailed) paintings, and no one will get into my mind. I'm far from one hundred years old. Not even halfway. I'd rather leave everything as inheritance for my family. You are way too nice, sir. So for those of you who complain or post bad comments just to be mean, I'm glad you can't create. You don't deserve that gift. ~
I haven't seen very many rude comments or complaints. You will always get uncalled for comments but the key is not reading them or letting them hurt you. This comment section is for the most part extremely positive. For me, being able to comment on his videos is very helpful because I am a self taught and often have many questions.
My middle name is Monet, it’s the name I go by. My mom named me after Monet and I’m thankful she did because I adore his work. Probably the reason I’m so into art.
I'm an absolute beginner and I have just discovered your video. What I like about it is that you tell us the history behind and you explain it in a very clear, simple way. I'm going to try and reproduce what you explained. Thank you!💙
Smolly28, thank you for your comment. I am that 'ignorant moron' and as well as teaching art, I also teach art history and the science of colour mixing which I have done for 17 years. This is a basic guide to the style of Impressionism which is there to build confidence and inspire. This is not a biography of Monet or his many techniques. I have studied many books on Monet, quite a few of which are conflicting and open to suggestion, for example Monet himself has been quoted as saying that he only painted for half an hour outside, yet in another quote he says that he paints slowly. I look at historical artworks from an artists point of view and the human side of the artist behind the canvas, it's not all allegory and hidden meaning. I chose acrylics and not oils to make it more accessible to beginners, asthmatics and those working in small rooms. The tutorial is about painting *like* Monet and Impressionism itself is vast and varied and you only need to look at the differences between Sisley, Degas, Seurat, Basille and Cezanne to see this. All I try to do is to show people with a desire to paint that it is possible and there are simple methods out there to get people on the right track and build up enough confidence to learn more in-depth methods (which I also teach).
Ofcourse, anyone painting understands your effort,, thank you very much,, perhaps you can show us how optical color mixing is done,, you know, like when you use 3 colors or 2 in contrast with the background, to create 1 color a seen from afar,, :-) That would be super useful to impressionist beginners too :-) no? Anyway thanks and take care, Hélio EU Antwerp
Hélio Pype Gomes Martins Thank you I was thinking the same thing. its too bad the camera is 'cutting ' the important part of mixing the colors. I too will like to know.
Beautiful tutorial. I used to always aim to paint with more realism because I thought that somehow made the art "better" (whatever that means) but I've recently become very drawn to the style of impressionism for both its speediness and its dreamlike qualities. It seems to be more "honest" if that makes any sense at all. I think I'll give it a go soon.
Awesome Demonstration on the impressionist style. This is the first UA-cam Video that I have seen that actually mentioned the tools that helped the impressionist.. Thanks, I'm Sharing this on Google Plus. Take Care, Bill Kearney :-)
Absolutely loved this tutorial...as well as the education in the names of the techniques...I've watched many tutorials and that educational portion was icing on the cake....loved it THANK YOU!!
Thank you sir! 8 years late, but this guide still holds up in 2022. Have to make a piece for my art class (I'm currently sophomore year of High School) and this guide really helps.
This is amazing, thank you 😊 I’m at absolute beginner, have done two Monet inspired paintings so far, but the way you explain the technique is very helpful. 😊
Thank you! Losers will criticize because they are unable to articulate anything intelligent, and more often than not have never accomplished anything important in life. More like this please!
There are many books that have been written on Monet and as much as I would have liked to add every single technique he used into this tutorial, it just isn't possible to do so in a bite-size time frame or to keep it accessible for artists who are total beginners or those wanting to improve. Monet did indeed spend many months on a lot of his paintings, but on others (usually the smaller ones), he painted outside and very quickly such as the painting of his wife and Mdme Boudin on the beach. Grains of sand were present on the clothing that had got stuck to the oils due to painting on the beach. Monet himself said that you shouldn't spend longer than half an hour painting outside as the light and shadows change. My tip for painting outside would be perhaps to mark the shadows first. I also draw a small arrow in the top corner showing the direction of sunlight, so if I take a longer time on the painting I will always know the direction of the shadows.
I just started to learn how to paint and I've always admired Monet and other impressionist painters. This was an awesome tutorial! Really helped grasp the main ideas behind the technique. Cheers from Texas!
I want to thank you so much for this well described instruction on how to paint like Monet I have watched many other videos but you have made the complicated uncomplicated and I do so appreciate it thank you so much for teaching this to us.
at first i thought it was going nowhere but when you put that white flowers on top of those lily pads, I was truly amazed and appreciated the beauty of your little painting thank you
I love this, thank you. While "older" I am disabled, and trying to get back into painting. Loving this as it would allow me to do something quickly, yet be happy with the result. I wish I could take real life classes from you.
Thanks a lot for your lesson! It's very precious (and rare). Few artists talking about Impressionists here on yt - it seems to me - forget to say, as you said instead at the beginning of this vid, the essential thing; all French impressionists just juxtaposed colors by little spots of pure color, never mixing them nor caring about the exact shape of objects. I believe this is fundamental when you talk about their technique. Many painters tend instead to mix them together. I've seen a lot of their paintings close, and it's incredible how shapes were row and rough. Well, I think you a huge job here, and with a great simplicity! Thanks!
Thanks this kindof build up my confidence. In my art class, which is from regular school so no fency class just basic art with theory and practica, my teacher keeps making fun of how bad I am and that makes it really hard for me to paint. I even hate the idea of painting itself just because she destroyed my confidence that badly. I love drawing though, with pen and digitally. I wanted to start painting as well and then I was hit with the comments and critique that was absolutely only aimed at making me realize how bad I really was, no help at all. So I tried to see how other people paint since I couldn't find much help in the painting style of my neighbours and this video really helped me to try harder because I now have a little bit more of an idea how to do it. Thanks =) (The topic is drawing an impressionistic painting in watercolors of a picture by choice in black and white, which we are to repaint using impressionistic colors)
hello!! thank you very much for this tutorial, i am making a presentation for my final exam at school about impressionism and i wanted to make my own impressionist painting and this video is very helpful and straight forward!!
Thank you for the domonstration. I'm trying to become more impressionistic in my painting, and get away from this need I have for realism and sharp edges everywhere. A lot more study and practice to come :-)
There are a few comments stating that Monet never painted all in one go (Alla Prima), however there are many paintings by him that have been painted outside in one sitting. One painting 'La Plage de Trouville' in the National Gallery, even has grains of sand embedded into the paint showing that it was painted outside on the spot. It's size is only 15" so could easily have been painted in one 30 minute sitting. Obviously his much larger paintings could not have been painted in one go. Monet said that no painting should be painted longer than 30 minutes due to the change of light etc, so some paintings were done and finished in 30 minutes, others were done in 30 minutes over the same time of day over a period of a season (before the light changed again).
i've always wondered how monet made impressionism look so hard to do. when actually it is not hard just time consuming. you really made this an achieveable style for me. your description along with commentary brings all the individual strokes together to make the picture come to life. i will be practicing this style soon. i subscribed for sure that your video will be ready when i am. thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge.
I am only a dabbler when it comes to painting but I know what I like. I have alway admired the paintings done by Monet. They have a very unique quality that makes me enjoy studying them. Thank you so very much for your instruction and also for the educational value of this video. I am going to attempt painting this. It has been a dream for me to be able to have the knowledge to be able to attempt this. Thank you again. (Liked and subscribed).
Nice work but i look at art in a differen perspective out of the box. Painting like Vangogh said should speak to you. Vangogh and felow inpresionalist was a micro miniturist and hiding their communications under the prussion bluepaint and emerold green.

Thanks for mentioning it how the flat brush Works my instructor was trying to teach me how to use it but I didn't understand she told me that my brush Strokes should be long and straight but with your video and made it more clear I wish I could send you a picture of what I'm working on
i kinda hate how u legit just did a painting under ten minutes and im still no where near finished after so many hours on trying to impersonate monet with only a few hours left to finish my painting assignments.......yikes and i thought about taking a break only to find literally the most helpful video ever thank u so much for the tips and wisdom at 3 am in the morning and now im more keen to finish it then ever
I have seen the Water Lillies by Monet in Clevland Art Museum Ohio. If you look at it side on using light reflection. It looks as if the painting was originally painted looking sideways at the pound. As it appears there is thicker paint on either side of the painting. Indicating reeds. Then changed to looking face down on the pound / Water Lillies. Interesting thought.
Thank you for your comments. This short demonstration is not meant to be an extensive biography on Monet and it serves to inspire and create confidence in painting in that style while learning a small amount along the way. Painting from reality is indeed important as I encourage all of my students to do this. There is also much documented evidence that Monet paint a lot outside even from a young age as encouraged by Eugene Boudin.
Thank you! This helped me so much just to understand the basic brush strokes and and it makes me really excited to try to branch out more and get back to my paints!
Hi, I just wanted to thank you for posting this video. It was just what I was looking for! I tutor some students--and during our time together there is 30 minutes allotted to introduce them to a new artist....this week was Monet. Your presentation of his technique is very clear and easy to follow. I watched it once, went to class and demonstrated it--it was a wonderful time, and I actually enjoyed it to boot! My mother is an artist (more in the classical vein) so I grew up around painting but was far to impatient to do it myself--this was actually fun! Thanks again
Hi, I hope it's not too late to ask a question here. I love the demonstration, thank you. I'm wondering how come it doesn't become muddy when you use more than three colours? In some cases here you mixed blue and yellow, then over top added red and brown in some areas. Thank you!
Hi. Because I have used acrylics in this demonstration, the under painted colour has dried quite quickly and so the top colour didn't blend with it to muddy it. If i were to use oils, there is a greater chance for it to muddy, but i would use the under colour thinner (not using a dilutant but just push the paint further into the canvas). Then the top layer would have less colour to blend with and then sty true to the colour painted. Hope this helps!
That's a huge help, thank you. I've been trying to figure this out for years! Thanks too for explaining how you'd work in oils because that, in fact, is the medium where I really couldn't "get" it.
I find that, in oils, if you use a thin wash of undercolour first then a thicker layer or two of (often opaque) paint will easily sit on top. The turps or white spirit will evaporate and you can work on top, even using black mixes thinned with spirits. I love Monet.
I love monet. I feel like im in a dream when i look at his paintings

coming 8 years after to say thanks for making this video
Mathilde Dunoyer same here! saw this two years ago in art class, have come back for my own study - he’s just as helpful as ever!! ☺️
My middle name is Monet, it’s the name I go by. My mom named me after Monet and I’m thankful she did because I adore his work. Probably the reason I’m so into art.
One of the best Monet study videos on UA-cam. Thank you.

time sure flies
@@vulnerablerummy bruh
Thank you! I learned a lot by watching you paint and listening to information about the techniques Monet used.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing. Beautiful to watch the brush strokes against the Canvas
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this. I know absolutely nothing about the techniques of impressionism and this helped open my eyes. Many thanks again.
Absolutely loved this tutorial...as well as the education in the names of the techniques...I've watched many tutorials and that educational portion was icing on the cake....loved it THANK YOU!!
I like Monet's style or all Impressionist era painter. Thanks, neat tips.
THANK YOU ❣️ for Your Rendition of Monet's Brushstrokes. Interesting facts.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Impressionistic style background with acrylics. Thank you for this!

For the amount of time spent, that is fantastic.
thank lots!..this really helps cuz im doing a master copy of one of monets water lily painting and i had no idea how he painted
Very nice. Monet is incredible. Such peace in his work.
really enjoyed the touch painting.Monet style.Want t keep this painting style,and learn jow t do it..Just beautiful.
I just started to learn how to paint and I've always admired Monet and other impressionist painters. This was an awesome tutorial! Really helped grasp the main ideas behind the technique. Cheers from Texas!
Your tutorial to paint like Monet is awesome!! Now I am excited to draw this myself!
I want to thank you so much for this well described instruction on how to paint like Monet I have watched many other videos but you have made the complicated uncomplicated and I do so appreciate it thank you so much for teaching this to us.
I love this! Thank you :) I learned a lot and used this tutorial for my first oil painting. Please do more!
at first i thought it was going nowhere but when you put that white flowers on top of those lily pads, I was truly amazed and appreciated the beauty of your little painting thank you
Thank you for this. I just got into painting, I’m 29 revisiting my artistic abilities from childhood. It’s very enjoyable
Do you think its not too late to start at age of 20 to painting?
I love this, thank you. While "older" I am disabled, and trying to get back into painting. Loving this as it would allow me to do something quickly, yet be happy with the result. I wish I could take real life classes from you.
Great instruction on how to paint like Monet, best I've seen! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This is a great lesson!! Please make more videos!!!!! You are an excellent teacher.
This was wonderful. I am leading a group of sophomores in a Monet study and paint-along . This helped tremendously.
Glad it was helpful!
I did this with my kids, and it was so fun and easy and quick. We loved it. Thank you for sharing it.
Excellent tutorial and gorgeous final product!
Thank you for the easy to understand explanation of the history and technology behind impressionism!!

I’m so glad you found it helpful. I hope the presentation and the painting goes really well for you!
I really think this painter is even better and also his technique as Claude Monet...Thank you for the applause
I so appreciate this quick, simple, yet informative demo. Many thanks.
That was a wonderful video! lots of information and well presented - in a sea of painting videos this was awesome! Thank you very much!
I have been drawing for a while now and I think I´m gonna try acrylic paints next, that looks like a lot of fun.
Thank you for the domonstration. I'm trying to become more impressionistic in my painting, and get away from this need I have for realism and sharp edges everywhere. A lot more study and practice to come :-)

Great video definitely something I'm going to try, you described it very well and didn't get over complicated. Cheers.
Your finished version is really lovely.
Thank you for this video. I'm making a Monet inspired cake, and this was very helpful!
Thank you I needed something simple. So appreciated.

Nice work but i look at art in a differen perspective out of the box. Painting like Vangogh said should speak to you. Vangogh and felow inpresionalist was a micro miniturist and hiding their communications under the prussion bluepaint and emerold green. To brake their code one should look at history of their time and the artistbiography. Common denominator is they were military oriented even Vangogh lived with his uncle in belgium who was a admirol in a ship yard that manufactured dragon ship and submarines. In a interesting time during an industriol revelution in the neatherlands. There is a lot we dont know about the impresionalist and the only one that was acused of spying was Renoir.
Thanks for the easy and prompt guidance 🙏🏻
Most welcome!
Fabulous guide. Thani you. Will use it with my 12 yo art students.
Wonderful video and don't let haters like Smolly28 irk you. For every 1 talented person there are a 1,000 jealous haters.
Thank you for this video! I'm leading a week long art camp and this will be so helpful for teaching the kids how to imitate the style of Monet.
Thank you for sharing this video! As a beginner, I really enjoyed watching this technique.
Thanks for mentioning it how the flat brush Works my instructor was trying to teach me how to use it but I didn't understand she told me that my brush Strokes should be long and straight but with your video and made it more clear I wish I could send you a picture of what I'm working on
😀
Perfect. Thanks for all the clarifications
i kinda hate how u legit just did a painting under ten minutes and im still no where near finished after so many hours on trying to impersonate monet with only a few hours left to finish my painting assignments.......yikes and i thought about taking a break only to find literally the most helpful video ever thank u so much for the tips and wisdom at 3 am in the morning and now im more keen to finish it then ever
I have seen the Water Lillies by Monet in Clevland Art Museum Ohio. If you look at it side on using light reflection. It looks as if the painting was originally painted looking sideways at the pound. As it appears there is thicker paint on either side of the painting. Indicating reeds. Then changed to looking face down on the pound / Water Lillies. Interesting thought.
Thank you for the demonstration sir!!! I have actually made one for my art class based on monet's water lilies, and it turned out pretty good!!
Thank you for your comments. This short demonstration is not meant to be an extensive biography on Monet and it serves to inspire and create confidence in painting in that style while learning a small amount along the way. Painting from reality is indeed important as I encourage all of my students to do this. There is also much documented evidence that Monet paint a lot outside even from a young age as encouraged by Eugene Boudin.
ty for your excellent example to simplify the style for us!! 😊❤️
THANK You for your time and effort. I got a lot from the lesson and on top of that...you did a lovely painting. :-)
Beautiful and will try this technique.
Wonderful straight to the point teacher. Well done! One day you will be re-creating my work......Chantal
Thank you! This helped me so much just to understand the basic brush strokes and and it makes me really excited to try to branch out more and get back to my paints!
That was amazing to watch. Thanks for sharing! ❤
You are so clever.... that’s beautifull... thank you.....
Thankyou for a great lesson ....I'm going to give it a go today ....thanks from Lisa in Australia
Have fun!
This is lovely to see and easy to understand. Thank you! 💖
Thank you for a great demo. My is is damned watercolor. I’m working on about four years of practice now. I’m getting there!
Thank-you so much for this! I'm starting out as a beginner and this tutorial is easy to follow and very helpful!

Thanks you helped me so much, i need that for school and i had absolutly no idea. Thank you 😁
I'm studying Monet for my course in College and this was really helpful, thank you! :)
This was realy inspiring. Thank you for posting this video. I may just clean out my studio and start painting again, after having watched this.
Dude, you make it look easy.
That was a brilliant guide, thank you sir
