(1) Where did Monet prefer to paint and how did this reject past conventions of artmaking ? Monet liked to paint en plein air (He liked to paint outside in the open air) He liked to paint in the landscape He liked to capture the contemporary world around him He liked to paint directly and rapidly from the actual subject This broke the traditional Academic rules of how to develop a painting (the traditional conventions of artmaking at the time) Traditional approach: An artist would draw and paint many preliminary studies of the chosen subject in the studio. Many layers of under painting would be done on the canvas to develop a balanced formal composition Colour would be built up slowly with thin glazes of paint so that no brush strokes would be visible
