Acrylic on Arches 140# Cold Press paper 7" x 10"
2001. This was done as an experiment to see how to get a watercolor look when using acrylic paint. I had wanted to be able to combine the look of transparent blending of color in the sky with the more opaque and "oil - like" heavy paint application in the foreground. I happened to have a print of this Monet painting on the wall in front of me at the time, so.. I decided to use it. I think this is the only time I have ever directly tried to copy anothers work. It felt wrong to do it even though I knew this was a time tested method to improve your own work.
