The original painting of “Woman with a Parasol” painted by Monet
“The Woman with a Parasol—Madame Monet and Her Son” by Claude Monet is considered unique compared to traditional portraits because it portrays natural or ordinary people in their everyday surroundings. This masterpiece is a prime example of impressionism and played a significant role in establishing Monet as a master of this artistic style. The painting beautifully captures the essence of impressionism through its use of light, color, and ordinary subject matter, showcasing Monet’s mastery of impressionist techniques.

Sketching With Paint:
Gamblin Gamsol is a solvent artists use to clean their brushes and thin down brown paint for the initial sketch on canvas. Remember not to use Gamsol or any other cleaning solvent for anything other than sketching. For example, George Werbacher uses brown paint thinned with Gamsol when needed for the initial oil painting sketch. In addition, George uses linseed oil only when prepping oil paints for use in all his reproductions and originals
