Year 5 have been practising a range of watercolour techniques as part of their Claude Monet art unit this week. They explored tonal grading, blending, layering and cross-hatching, developing greater control and understanding of how watercolours can be used to create depth and texture.

The children then applied these skills by recreating a section of a Claude Monet painting, carefully observing colour, light and brushwork to produce their own interpretations inspired by his style.
