Claude Monet was born on

14 November in 1840 in
Paris, France. His father
Adolphe was a shipping
businessman and mother
Louise was a housewife.
His mother was a well-
known singer and admirer
of art and poetry. So, Monet
got his first attraction
towards art from his mother. Monet’s family moved to Le Havre in 1845. There
he Studied, He loved to spend his time to enjoy the natural scenes. He started to
adapting nature landscape under the influence of Eugene Boudin. This influence
provoked him much in his later part of life. He called the picture Impression,
Sunrise and exhibited it along with paintings by his friends who also painted ‘ in
plein air'. The artists became known as the impressionists after the title of
Monet's painting. He did most paintings that are fabulous, and he did many
artworks of landscapes, and his work is mostly known in the world. Claude
Monet painted nearly 250 paintings in his series of “Water Lilies.” Monet
painted many of his later works while suffering from cataracts. Nymphaea is the
botanical name for a water lily.
HERE ARE SOME HAYSTACKS PAINTINGS
THAT ARE CREATED BY MONET:

Monet's haystacks paintings

Claude Monet did this all throughout his career, most notably demonstrated
through his many haystack paintings. Claude Monet did so many paintings of
haystacks, but each painting is unique and is a fantastic demonstration of how
light and colour works in different environments.

These are some haystacks paintings by Claude Monet....

Haystacks In Clear Weather

Monet indicates clear weather by using bright colours, balanced colours, and
sharp details harmony.

Haystacks On an Overcast Day

The haystack painting on an overcast day is similar to the clear weather
paintings, however slightly darker, and with a generally cooler colour harmony.

Frosty Haystacks at Sunrise / Sunset

Monet indicates frost on these haystacks by using lighter and cooler colours. If
we notice the hint of blue and purple colour throughout the painting it makes the
painting more demonstrated and fantastic.

Claude Monet, Haystacks at Sunset, Frosty Weather, 1891

Snowy Haystacks at Sunset

Here Monet indicates snow by using much cooler and darker colours, used
contrast against the vibrant sun.

Misty Haystacks
In this painting the mist is indicated by reduced clarity like it’s a bit blur image
and he made contrast between elements.

Claude Monet, Haystacks, Sun in The Mist, 1891

Haystacks At Sunrise / Sunset

The haystacks at sunrise / sunset are vibrant and demonstrate a stunning contrast
between warm lights and cool darks.

I think there are many ways we can paint the same scene. By painting the
haystacks in many different environments, Claude Monet clearly demonstrated
his brilliant understanding of light and colour. Every painting is extremely
unique despite the same subject being used.

We can paint the same scene in different environments. It does not need to be a
haystack of course. It can be any scene but keep it simple. What you want to
learn is how light and colour work, so you want to be able to focus on those
elements.
