Dominant Industry – Painter Series – Les Nymphéas : les Nuages

Notes from the study: “Throughout his life, Monet meditated on the lessons of his first teacher, Eugène Boudin, to depict the effects of sky and clouds. Here, he achieves the remarkable feat of evoking the rosy atmospheric variations of the heavens solely through their reflection in the still waters of his pond, which acts like a mirror in a monumental and striking composition.” I didn’t see quite as much depth of colour in my swatches and notes, and the pink shimmer effect was relatively light. Extremely useable however, with enough saturation to pass muster as a daily ink.
