Monet is one of the artist I use to teach painting to young artists. His loose style and use of color makes his work the perfect inspiration for young painters.
When teaching painting I always give the students several sessions to work on their paintings. This shows how an artist builds a painting and the progression of work through time.
With younger artists I use specific paintings, for example Monet's Waterlilies, shown here, painted by a group of children 6 and under.
With older artist's, this group being 6-7, we used photographs as our subject and Impressionism as the influence for our style.
I like the students to be able to take their own photos; this makes them photographers and painters.
Painting is learned, just like riding a bike. Think of Bob Ross, he could teach anyone to paint.
I love being able to give children the experience of making a beautiful and successful painting.
