These student paintings demonstrate yet again how much knowledge of style a passionate art lover has locked up - my teaching methods merely unleash what is within!
Student interpretations of Monet: Woman Reading, 1872 completed in one session at Inglis Academy, November 2020.
Well done to all! The new 5 hour session gave everybody ample time to work on their details and textures.
During the pandemic crisis of 2020 Cynthia continued her investigation of Monet and Friends at home, with very impressive results!
" My work for this week. After 4 struggling nights, I finally finished it. DIfferent than the original since I have no idea how to deal with one type of flower in the original version. Also, the leaves are tricky. "

" This is my mate Peter Inglis- something of a genius. His Monets seem to me to be as good as Monet's. More amazingly, he can teach you to paint a repectable Monet or Renoir or Van Gogh in just a few hours, even if you have never painted before.
Hard to believe, but I've seen his students' work.
He'll throw in a quick history of western civilisation as well. A truly enriching cultural experience.
Check it out. "
This video gives you a close up look at some of Peter Inglis' Monet interpretations which we study in class, along with detailed course material, large video displays, intensive coaching and live painting demos.
After attending several classes at Inglis Academy, and learning Peter’s method, I was inspired to translate the brushwork into a glass on glass mosaic of Monet’s Japanese bridge.
The techniques we learned of analysing an impressionist painting - looking at tone, perspective, composition and palette- enabled me to reproduce the work in another medium. I’ve found this method to be very helpful, and transferable to other art forms.

Helen transferred her new art literacy skills from the medium of acrylic painting to mosaic, and produced this amazing Monet! This is exactly the sort of outcome that Inglis Academy is oriented towards. Well done!

I had a go at painting this from your book (Monet: Boats at Argenteuil), and really enjoyed the process. This is my result.

Helen brings her curiosity and love of art to the Gallery Quality Painting sessions and her work is progressing in leaps and bounds! She used my book as a guide and painted this iconic Monet.
