I paint the sky with ultramarine blue and titanium white. In general I am trying to keep it simple with the colour mixing by using fewer colours. The benefits of this is that the colour mixtures look cleaner. I explain how to paint the cliffs and how to make the foliage on the cliffs recede in the distant landforms. I show you how to paint the sea and simplify the complexities of the moving water in a manner that still gives the appearance of a realistic ocean. I explain how to get the tonality of the painting correct, show you how to mix a few colours and much more. Blue Ocean Painting Horizontal Framed Seascape Wall Art, Abstract Coastal Painting on Canvas, Livingroom Bedroom Landscape Wall Art Decor The relationship between Monet and the sea began as soon as the young artist moved, along with his family, to the coastal town of Le Havre, Normandy, in the mid-1850s. In these early years Monet did not feel an immediate attraction for “plen air” painting, and he focused in drawing caricatures of neighbors and acquaintances. But his young talent caught the attention of a painter who had established himself in Le Havre years earlier, Eugene Boudin, still considered one of the greatest seascape painters of the 19th century. After a few months, the master convinced the young artist to accompany him on his outings to paint outdoors. The tenacity of Boudin would not be in vain, and Monet recognized, several years later: “If I became a painter, it was thanks to Boudin”

First of all I mix the colours which are primarily ultramarine blue with a little yellow oxide and titanium white. For the areas of the water that are in shadow I used the exact same colours, just less titanium white.Alcoholic and impulsive, Jongkind impressed the young Monet with the effects of light and atmosphere in his seascape paintings. The influence of the Dutch painter is clearly perceivable in works like “Pointe de la Hève at Sainte-Adresse” (1864, Currier Museum of Art), with its careful and strongly horizontal representation of the sky and the atmosphere. This painting was admitted in the Salon of 1865. Note the realism of the work and the use of very definite brushstrokes, which Monet later changed in works such as “Rough sea at Etretat” (1868, Paris, Musée d’Orsay) Claude Monet: “Cabane des douaniers, Varengeville” (1882) – Philadelphia, Art Museum ·· Claude Monet: “Cabane des douaniers, effet du matin” (1882) – Private collection For the cloud highlights I apply lighter tone to create that 3D effects and I’ve opted for dramatic clouds in this painting, I like the edginess and drama it creates in a painting.

What about Netherlands? Well, Netherlands was for Monet ‘love at first sight’. “Everything is more beautiful than we had expected (…). Here are enough landscapes to paint throughout my whole life”, he wrote. Monet was immediately fascinated by the Dutch landscape, and especially by the town of Zaandam, with its boats and windmills. Perhaps the contemplation of the canvases by Hobbema and van Ruysdael made reemerge his early admiration for Jongkind. Or perhaps the love for the pure landscape of these old masters encouraged the artist to look for new challenges. But the truth is that the Dutch influence is visible not only in Monet’s “Dutch” paintings, but also in many of his seascapes created in the coast of Normandy. Wallpaper in its embryonic state is more finished than that seascape”, Art critic Louis Leroy wrote about this canvas when it was exhibited at the first Impressionist exhibition in 1877. And this is just an example of how most of the critics of the time reacted to this painting, and, by extension, to the whole Impressionist movement (a movement that in fact owes its name to this painting). It is not surprising, then, that nobody offered 1,000 francs, the asking price for the small work.

I add a little more lighter green into the cliffs and add some of the reddish brown foliage using a combination of burnt sienna, cadmium orange, a little quinacridone magenta and ultramarine blue.
