The National Gallery

I had also decided to visit the National Gallery as a part of my research towards my topic of indistinct. I found the work within the National Gallery beautiful and it has inspired me in many different ways. Whilst most people believe that the National gallery is just full of traditional pieces of work, I feel that I have learnt a lot from visiting it. During my walk throughout the great halls, I found the work of Monet, an artist who mostly painted landscapes. I enjoy the use of colour and the way his paintings just blend together. I feel that I can incorporate the colour he uses within looking at mark making. In addition to that Monet doesn't paint his landscapes exact, he leaves some mystery within them. By that I mean he blends part of the painting together to create the atmosphere of a landscape but doesn't paint it exactly how he would have seen it. I really like this aspect, I feel that it enhances his work, you want to look at it more and study it. Overall, I feel that the visit to the National Gallery was very helpful to me.
