Notes

Here Monet has used brush strokes to construct the painting, horizontal strokes used to illustrate the movement and light coming off the water. Vertical strokes to depict the taller objects in the painting, for example the boats and the people, he never mixes the two strokes. also he uses the occasional complementary colour in the boats and background to bring the painting alive against the cold blues.

This is a scene of contemporary people, a common theme for the impressionists as at the time they were rejected from the art establishment, forcing them to exhibit as their own group. The conventional 'good' art at the time was featuring a famous or important person and centered around that person, so the impressionists were very experimental.
