One of Claude Monet’s defining processes was to paint the same subject over and over again under different conditions. The constant subject allowed him to carefully study the often subtle relationships between color and light.
I have been following in Monet’s footsteps for the last two months. Every few days, I go for a run around a local park at Minnippi, Queensland. I take photos of the same few trees each time. I also make sure to go at varying times throughout the day and in varying conditions. These photos form the basis of my studies.
To date, I have produced four paintings in this tree series. You can see them here:
Same Subject, Different Conditions
Happy painting!
