I love the colors and textures of the works of Monet. I wanted to do an 8 x 8 inch soft pastel painting, and I thought Monet’s Waterlilies would be a great inpiration. I always love how they start out looking like a kindergartner’s class work. 🙂
I used Lyra watercolor sticks to block-in the main colors for the background, then activated the pigment with water on a paintbrush. This also keeps you from using up too much of the pastels and making them harder to layer.

After layering and getting the shapes and colors right, it’s time to add the details!
