Description

Painting like Monet is easy and fun. I give you a little historical information about Monet and his work then we learn how to do a painting step by step in his style. Monet painted by putting dabs of colour down, one next to the other, until it was all done. There are extra episodes on how to choose materials if you need them too. We even take a walk through Monet's garden in one segment. Come join me in learning how to paint in this very relaxing way of painting.
