Claude Monet drawings

Claude Monet's drawings, though less well-known than his paintings, offer valuable insights into his artistic process and development. Early in his career, Monet produced numerous caricatures, showcasing his keen observational skills and sense of humour. As he evolved as an artist, he utilised pencil, charcoal, ink and pastel to create preparatory studies for his renowned oil paintings. These sketches allowed him to experiment with composition, perspective and light before committing to canvas. Notably, Monet's pastels, often small in scale, provided a portable medium for capturing scenes efficiently while travelling. Despite his public persona of painting spontaneously en plein air, these drawings reveal a meticulous approach to planning and composition.
