We have taken this photo from our friends the Bucklands, who took this photo on their recent holiday in New Zealand, to use as our painting.
Monet focused on the effect of the light on a scene, and how quickly the light would change a landscape. He tried to capture the effect of the light in his paintings, and would paint the same scene over and over at different times of the day, and at different times of the year. We studied this photo to see how the light had affected the landscape. We tried to capture the colours as closely as we could. Mom printed out the above photo on card, and we painted over the photo with earbuds for the sky, and different thicknesses of paintbrushes to get the brush strokes. We used acrylic paint, and mom mixed most of the colours. We did all of the painting ourselves, and really really enjoyed doing this painting. Thank you Auntie Belinda for taking such a great photo, we would love to come to New Zealand, and can't believe that Rachel was standing right there.
This is Eden's - I really enjoyed doing the mountain on the right, and was really proud at how it turned out, I liked blending the many colours in. I was also happy with how the grass in the front looks.
This is Niamh's.

Hi Eden and Niamh,
What beautiful paintings by you both, yes Eden the grass in the front is so good, as is the mountain. Niamh yours too is impressive.
Two budding artists think.
Lots of love, from Nana.
