Wonderful Water
-
SOLD OUT
There is something about water that attracts us. Water can alter the entire mood of a piece depending on how it is depicted, and this month we are inspired by the tranquil reflections of Monet’s waterlilles, the crest of a wave with Hokusai and Turner’s stormy seas.

Water in art
Water has a mysterious hold on us. This earthly element has fascinated artists over the ages, and continues to do so. Why is this? And what do the various depictions of water do for a painting? For some, it is symbolic, and others it is realistic: many artists have painted water in motion (a flowing stream, a turbulent ocean, or even a waterfall) while others have painted views of tranquil waters (lakes or ponds).
