Product Information

Monet, Renoir, Pissarro and Corot were drawn to Varengeville—and eventually the Cubist artist Georges Braque, who became a resident in the village and since 1963 lies buried in the cemetery adjacent to the church. It was Braque who, at the suggestion of the then French minister of culture André Malraux, designed the wonderful stained-glass window depicting the Tree of Jesse in the choir of Saint-Valery. I finish up the painting by adding my highlights and final details at the end of the painting. I make refinements to the clouds adding a bit more highlight and I add highlight using my lightest tones to the white water around the base of the cliffs. For this I am using titanium white with a little yellow oxide. I also add foam to some of the waves in the distant to make it look like there is a swell in the sea. Next I paint the white water around the base of the cliffs using a combination of titanium white mixed with a little yellow oxide and burnt sienna.

Difficulty –Easy | Distance– 4.4 kilometres (2.8 miles) | Time– 1 hour | Our Tip– Wear walking boots after rain as it can get muddy walking across the fields. The works Monet painted in Sainte-Adresse in the second half of the 1860s represent a momentary change in his representation of the sea. Compared with the wild seascapes of previous years (a style that Monet would later resume), here Monet painted the sea as an instrument of entertainment for the bourgeoisie, in a style that can be related with the paintings created for the “Salon des Artistes”, a “genre” that the artist had been developing in previous years, finished with the colossal “Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe”, first exhibited in 1866. Claude Monet – Jardin a Sainte-Adresse – 1867 I add a little more lighter green into the cliffs and add some of the reddish brown foliage using a combination of burnt sienna, cadmium orange, a little quinacridone magenta and ultramarine blue. Alcoholic and impulsive, Jongkind impressed the young Monet with the effects of light and atmosphere in his seascape paintings. The influence of the Dutch painter is clearly perceivable in works like “Pointe de la Hève at Sainte-Adresse” (1864, Currier Museum of Art), with its careful and strongly horizontal representation of the sky and the atmosphere. This painting was admitted in the Salon of 1865. Note the realism of the work and the use of very definite brushstrokes, which Monet later changed in works such as “Rough sea at Etretat” (1868, Paris, Musée d’Orsay) Claude Monet’s L’Église de Varengeville, effet matinal (1882) Private collection Monet’s enduring legacyAlmost all conventional seascapes are inevitably horizontally conceived, interpreting the horizon, the limit between sea and sky, as the key element in the composition. Many of Monet works from this period are unique for creating an asymmetrical vertical composition. A good example of this is “Cliffs near Dieppe” (1882, Zurich Kunsthaus Zurich) in which the two traditional horizontal planes (sky and sea) are broken by the dramatic cliff, dividing the composition into two vertical sections (land/cliff and sea). This effect is also notorious in “Beach of Etretat” (1883, Paris, Musée d’Orsay) or the famous “The Manneporte”, in its various versions, but it only reached its maximum effect in the series of paintings we are going to analyze now.

Between 1881 and 1883 Monet made a series of trips to several coastal towns in Normandy, such as Dieppe, Pourville or Trouville, where the landscapes were enough attractive to satisfy his creative appetite. Unlike in his former seascapes, here Monet seemed to focus more on the coastal landscape than in the ocean itself, taking advantage of the spectacularity of the rugged Normandy coast and its dramatic cliffs. Claude Monet: “Cliffs near Dieppe” (1882) – Zurich, Kunsthaus Next I paint the foliage and grass in the mid ground cliffs using a combination of ultramarine blue, cadmium yellow, cadmium orange, yellow oxide. The yellow oxide and cadmium orange helps to earth the greens and make them look more nature, it also reduces the chroma a little. Over the course of an easy one-hour stroll you’ll pass dramatic towering white cliffs; the iconic stone arches of Durdle Door and arcs of sweeping golden sand. It rightly deserves its reputation as one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the country.

I paint the sky with ultramarine blue and titanium white. In general I am trying to keep it simple with the colour mixing by using fewer colours. The benefits of this is that the colour mixtures look cleaner. The key to this method is to keep introducing clean water as you paint the hills, aiming for that “now you see it, now you don’t” effect, giving the impression that you are glimpsing the hills through a moving veil of mist or low cloud.Ôªø First of all I mix the colours which are primarily ultramarine blue with a little yellow oxide and titanium white. For the areas of the water that are in shadow I used the exact same colours, just less titanium white. The islet of Kemmunett supports one of the best garigue habitats due to the limited human disturbance of this uninhabited islet. Interesting shrubs present include the endemic Maltese Spurge Euphorbia melitensis, the Olive-leaved Bindweed Convolvulus oleifolius, the Shrubby Kidney-vetch Anthyllis hermanniae and the subendemic Maltese Toadflax Linaria pseudoluxiflora. A colony of the Mediterranean Shearwater Puffinus puffinus yelkouan also occurs here.

When painting a large body of water like this, you don’t want to have too much detail as you risk creating a distracting composition. By keeping it looser the human brain will fill in the rest of the information. The shadows of the greens are created with ultramarine blue, phthalo green and burnt sienna. This is where my darkest tones will be. Adding Details I explain how to paint the cliffs and how to make the foliage on the cliffs recede in the distant landforms. I show you how to paint the sea and simplify the complexities of the moving water in a manner that still gives the appearance of a realistic ocean. I explain how to get the tonality of the painting correct, show you how to mix a few colours and much more. Where to start the walk? —This Jurassic Coast walk starts at the car park at the Bankes Arms pub in Studland.

For the cloud highlights I apply lighter tone to create that 3D effects and I’ve opted for dramatic clouds in this painting, I like the edginess and drama it creates in a painting. Because of their relative inaccessibility both the vertical cliffs rising from the sea and the rdum with their boulder screes provide important refuges for many threatened and/or specialised species of Maltese flora and fauna, including many endemics. Although not as famous as the well-know series listed above, the analysis of the “Cabane des douaniers” is fascinating. For example, in an example exhibited at the Philadelphia Museum of Art the composition is virtually identical to that of the already commented “Cliffs near Dieppe”, while in an example belonging to an American private collection the dramatic effect of the composition is not only created by the verticality, but it is also reinforced by the asymmetry caused by the diagonal of the cliff. Claude Monet: “Cabane des douaniers at Varengeville” (1882) – Boston, Museum of Fine Arts For the whitewater that is in shadow I mix ultramarine blue with a little quinacridone magenta and titanium white. The artistic oeuvre of the Impressionist painter par excellence, Claude Monet, seen through his seascapes. A fascinating virtual tour through the relationship between the impressionist master and the sea. Claude Monet: “The Manneporte” (1884) – detailTwo years later, Monet rented for three months a small castle in Antibes, in the French Riviera. The artist immediately fell in love with the landscape –“so full of light” – of the Mediterranean, and with the turquoise and pink tones of the Mediterranean light.
