Lily Pond – I created this Monet influenced painting WITHOUT using a paintbrush. The background was done by applying many layers of paint dabbed on with a natural  sponged.

I made my own stencils for the lilies and the bridge and again, applied the paint with a natural sponge.

The trailing willow branches were done by dipping sprigs of bottle brush in greens, black and iridescent green paint and literally “whipping” the paint on to the canvas.

I thoroughly enjoyed trying out these techniques and hope to apply them in future works. Do hope you love this painting as much as I enjoyed making it.
