Impressionism |Recreating Monet's Lilies in Soft Pastels!

So, this video seems to be doing really well on my YouTube channel, and I would like to share it with you! This is when I just started going in front of the camera, so excuse the awkwardness at the beginning!

In this tutorial I'm recreating Claude Monet's Lily Pond in soft pastels. By simple mark-making and use of expressive lines, this impressionistic painting comes to life. Although I mostly work in a much more realistic style, I thoroughly enjoy breaking away from focus intense detail work sometimes, to work in a more spontaneous and loose art style.

Follow along and see how I render this painting based on one of the most famous impressionist artists of his time!
