Monet’s method Claude Monet studied his subjects intently,planned his paintings, and worked hard to achieve his results. He often painted a series of the same subject to capture the changing effects of the light, swapping canvases as the day progressed. He said:“I‘m hard at it, working stubbornly on a series of different effects, but at this time of year the sun sets so fast that it’s impossible to keep up with it ... the further I get, the more I see that a lot of work has to be done in order to render what I‘m looking for: ’instantaneity‘（瞬时性）, the same light spread over everything... Im increasingly obsessed by the need to render what I experience..
