This will be my second viewing of your classes, Will. You're an excellent teacher. I studied in Paris with Armand Monago Guerin, and I'm in love with the Impressionists! All of them, especially Monet! Your palette work has taken me to a new level. No more wasting of paints!

The music made this so cozy! Now I want to try painting more with acrylics even though I’m more used to watercolors.

I once asked my teacher what the hue means on the color name. He said it's a hue, and gave me a lecture on tint and tone. Well thank you.

Thank you so much! I'm working on my acrylic painting now and I'm having the hardest time. You really inspired and motivated me! :)

[willkempartschool]

Yes you're right!

This is a tutorial in the 'style of Monet' using acrylics to achieve an impressionist feel.

If you wanted to recreate an exact Monet copy, similar to his later work you can use a cream or grey ground .
He worked in Oils so the a more muted result - go for it!

Cheers,

Will
