Haha. You caught me. My colors are brighter (and darker) than Monet's original, but I did use the pastels "straight from the tube." I can't remember when I learned about not using straight black (or white) from the tube, but I was told that both can make a painting appear flat and lifeless. I just love historical tid-bits, and never knew pig bladders were ever recycled in such a resourceful manner. I wonder what they do with them nowadays? Hmmm. No I don't. Thanks Meg. Haha.

I love the vibrant colors. I don't remember seeing a Monet that bright and cheery. :D I knew I had a good reason for not using any of my black paint. Mmmm..... pig bladders....
