Monet loved to paint water and reflections. He would paint the same subject many times, watching the changing sky and the way it reflected on the water. Monet called these paintings ‘waterscapes’. Notice how you cannot see the edge of the pond or the sky. When you look at the art, it makes you feel like you are floating.

  • Look closely at other paintings of reflections, can you tell the time of day?

  • What else can you see in the reflections?
