While adding the finishing touches to a painting might appear insignificant, it is much harder to do than one might suppose.
Claude Monet
Image
Paint what you really see, not what you think you ought to see not the object isolated as in a test tube, but the object enveloped in sunlight and atmosphere, with the blue dome of Heaven reflected in the shadows.
Claude Monet
Image
I'm in fine fettle and fired with a desire to paint.
Claude Monet
Image
Zaandam has enough to paint for a lifetime.
Claude Monet
Image
These landscapes of water and reflection have become an obsession.
Claude Monet
Image
What could be said about me...a man to whom only his painting matters? And of course his garden and his flowers as well.
Claude Monet
Image
Getting up at 4 in the morning, I slave away all day until by the evening I'm exhausted, and I end by forgetting all my responsibilities, thinking only of the work I've set out to do.
Claude Monet
Image
Take clear water with grass waving at the bottom. It's wonderful to look at, but to try to paint it is enough to make one insane.
Claude Monet
Image
The point is to know how to use the colours, the choice of which is, when all's said and done, a matter of habit.
Claude Monet
Image
One day I am satisfied, the next day I find it all bad still I hope that some day I will find some of them good.
Claude Monet
Image
It was at home I learned the little I know. Schools always appeared to me like a prison, and never could I make up my mind to stay there, not even for four hours a day, when the sunshine was inviting, the sea smooth, and when it was joy to run about the cliffs in the free air, or to paddle in the water.
Claude Monet
Image
It's enough to drive you crazy, trying to depict the weather, the atmosphere, the ambience.
Claude Monet
Image
Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.
Claude Monet
Image
I've done what I could as a painter and that seems to me to be sufficient. I don't want to be compared to the great masters of the past, and my painting is open to criticism that's enough.
Claude Monet
Image
The older I become the more I realize of that I have to work very hard to reproduce what I search: the instantaneous. The influence of the atmosphere on the things and the light scattered throughout.
Claude Monet
Image
One is too taken up with all that one sees and hears in Paris, however strong one is, and what I do here [in Etretat] will at least have the merit of being unlike anyone else, at least I believe so, because it will simply be the expression of what I, and only I, have felt.
Claude Monet
Image
One day Boudin said to me, 'Learn to draw well and appreciate the sea, the light, the blue sky.' I took his advice.
Claude Monet
Image
No one is an artist unless he carries his picture in his head before painting it, and is sure of his method and composition.
Claude Monet
Image
The Thames was all gold. God it was beautiful, so fine that I began working a frenzy, following the sun and its reflections on the water.
Claude Monet
Image
I'm enjoying the most perfect tranquillity, free from all worries, and in consequence would like to stay this way forever, in a peaceful corner of the countryside like this.
