BERTHE MORISOT.

                                    
                                                           BERTHE MORISOT

Berthe Morisot was born in Bourges, France. In 1841. She married with the Édouard Manet's brother.

She was an impressionist painter and she did many pictures and paints. Some paints went to the Paris Motor Show, because her paints were very beautiful. First, she painted outdoor, in many landscapes and beaches, but then she painted her sister, Edma.
Usually, Berthe painted scenes about ballet and skating on ice. She painted with complementary colours mainly, but not very striking. She usually used thick palette and thick lines.
Also, she used light colours for paint the sun and water of the sea. She painted the water of the sea with many shades of blue and green.


In the picture above, there is a woman. As we can see, the woman's skin is very pale because as I said before, the colours of the picture are not striking, so the rest of the body has natural colours and the tone isn't very bright and striking. The dress has a different tone of blue that normal, it is a dark blue, I think. The fan has many different colours: red, different tones of blue, white, yellow... In the background there are many flowers with different colours, tones... The texture of the image is very different than others impressionists.

Claude Monet

We chose Monet, an impressionist artist. He was born in Paris, France, and he died in Giverny .

The impressionsm is a very important movement that ocours in 19th century. The "capital" of impressionism was France. The characteristics of impresionsm pictures are:

·Visible brush strokes

·open composititon

·Use the light

·Unusual painting.

The painting that we choose is Impression Sunrise (Impression soleil levant) because it is the most important painting of impressionism, because it gives the name to this movement.

In the picture we can see a sunrise, with many people fishing in boats.

Monet uses strong brush strokes, because you can see the marks of the brush, for example in the sky you can see many lines in yellow and in blue. He also use bright colours and very pure colours.

This paint is very intresting, because if you make a copy of it in black and white the sunrise disappear.

Claude Monet

This is one picture of Monet. In this picture you can see a woman and a baby. The woman wearing long, blue and white dress, she is doing something with her hand, I think that she is weaving. She has brown hair and a big bun. She is young and is very pretty.
The baby is wearing also blue dress and black shoes, she has short and orange hair. The baby has in her hands one paper.
Behind the woman and the baby there is flowers os many colours (red, orange, pink, green, white, yellow and purple). I think that in this picture is spring.
Monet is a painter of the impressionism and he never draw the lines, he draw the picture directly, this technique is very complicate and I think that Monet is a very good painter. I choose this picture because I think that is very beautiful and the drawing and I like Monet.
