In this art history lesson and critique, we look at Monet’s painting entitled “Camille Monet on a Garden Bench”. We examine what makes this Impressionist painting so wonderful. We learn how Monet used compositional techniques to guide the viewer’s eye and how he used light and dark sections of the painting for contrast and interest. We also see how he used color theory to make the painting pop a bit more. Most importantly, we take what we learn from this critique and apply it to own drawings and paintings.
