Monet Sketch Techniques

1. Quick Capture of Light Changes

• Use quick brushstrokes to capture the momentary changes in light
• Don't focus too much on details, emphasize the overall atmosphere

2. Layered Color Usage

• Use different shades of colors to create a sense of depth
• The contrast between blue and yellow can create a dynamic visual effect

3. Water Control

• Use plenty of water to let colors blend naturally
• Utilize wet-on-wet technique to create soft edge effects

4. Canvas Preparation

• Choose appropriate canvas materials, such as rough texture canvas
• Keep the canvas flat to prevent warping due to excessive moisture

5. Sensing Nature

• Spend more time outdoors for plein air painting, directly observing natural light
• Try different times and weather conditions for each sketching session
