Monet’s art was known for his impressions of luscious colors.  As we hit the peak of summer blooms head outside to your local gardens for art inspirations.  A easy way to have that broken brush work look without the complications of paints is to use water soluble oil pastels.  They are easily tucked in a small backpack or shoulder bag.  Bring a collapsible cup, water bottle and brush.   Layout your design using dashes of oil pastel, then using water and a brush do some blending !  Experiment with different color combinations to create the impressions of the garden.
