  • Painted the same scene/object many times. Different times of day and in different seasons to see how the sunlight changed the color of the subject/scenery
  • He was also fascinated by reflections in the water and light
  • Enjoyed nature so much that he created a beautiful garden full of trees, plants, flowers at his home in Giverny
