The works Monet painted in Sainte-Adresse in the second half of the 1860s represent a momentary change in his representation of the sea. Compared with the wild seascapes of previous years (a style that Monet would later resume), here Monet painted the sea as an instrument of entertainment for the bourgeoisie, in a style that can be related with the paintings created for the “Salon des Artistes”, a “genre” that the artist had been developing in previous years, finished with the colossal “Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe”, first exhibited in 1866.

The islet of Kemmunett supports one of the best garigue habitats due to the limited human disturbance of this uninhabited islet. Interesting shrubs present include the endemic Maltese Spurge Euphorbia melitensis, the Olive-leaved Bindweed Convolvulus oleifolius, the Shrubby Kidney-vetch Anthyllis hermanniae and the subendemic Maltese Toadflax Linaria pseudoluxiflora. A colony of the Mediterranean Shearwater Puffinus puffinus yelkouan also occurs here. First of all I mix the colours which are primarily ultramarine blue with a little yellow oxide and titanium white. For the areas of the water that are in shadow I used the exact same colours, just less titanium white. Over the course of an easy one-hour stroll you’ll pass dramatic towering white cliffs; the iconic stone arches of Durdle Door and arcs of sweeping golden sand. It rightly deserves its reputation as one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the country.In the evening, when the sun is low, many of the shapes are silhouetted andsimplified. This painting was done at Burnham Overy on the Norfolk coast. If Saint-Valery church falls victim to coastal erosion, Varengeville cemetery will also disappear into the sea—and, with it, the grave of Georges Braque, his wife and their servant. François Mitterrand came here several times during his tenure as France’s president; villagers recall that he would sit down on the wooden bench behind the church and abandon himself to the panorama and his thoughts. The key to this method is to keep introducing clean water as you paint the hills, aiming for that “now you see it, now you don’t” effect, giving the impression that you are glimpsing the hills through a moving veil of mist or low cloud.Ôªø

Where to start the walk? —This Jurassic Coast walk starts at the car park at the Bankes Arms pub in Studland.It was Durand-Ruel, the great patron of the Impressionist artists, who financially supported Monet, Pissarro and Boudin during their trip to London in 1870, a trip that continued with their stay in the Netherlands the following year. The English landscape did not impress Monet at first; and in fact he painted very few English landscapes, except those depicting the Houses of Parliament and River Thames, a subject that he would resume -in a more enthusiastic way- in subsequent visits. The truly decisive factor in Monet’s stay in London was his visit to the National Gallery, where he discovered the work of the greatest British landscape painters: John Constable and, above all, Joseph Mallord William Turner. Turner’s seascapes, with their effects of light and atmosphere, influenced Monet’s works of the following years.

Where to start the walk? — Start the St Aldhelm’s walk from the car park just west of Worth Matravers. Some areas are also of palaeontological importance. Features include the transitional strata between the Lower Coralline Limestone and the overlying Lower Globigerina Limestone formation, in which beds are found especially numerous remains of the echinoid Scutella subrotunda; the phosphate nodule beds and hardgrounds that separate the various Globigerina Limestone members, and Quaternary deposits which are relatively abundant in some cliff areas.Terrace at Sainte Adresse” is the most representative work of this period. The bourgeois scene is developed under a strong “plein air” light. The clear limits between land, sea and sky divide the composition, vertically organized by the two flags fluttered by the ocean breeze. The painting is so delightful that we are immediately tempted to sit on one of the empty chairs to enjoy this sunny Sunday afternoon. A similar theme, but with a very different composition, is found in “Sailing at Sainte-Adresse” (1867, New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art) Difficulty –Easy | Distance– 2 kilometres (1.25 miles) | Time– 30 minutes | Our Tip– This walk can get very busy, try to be there early or late to avoid the crowds. Secondly, it passes through an area of Special Scientific Interest including the remains of WWII radar station, a 1920’s steam-powered winding wheel, and an Iron Age Forge. It’s always a good idea to look for slightly unusual viewpoints when you are gathering material for paintings. Whereas the previous two paintings are quite traditional in composition – looking across the land at hills towering above us – for this painting of Portloe in Cornwall, I climbed up a cliff path and looked down into the bay. For the whitewater that is in shadow I mix ultramarine blue with a little quinacridone magenta and titanium white.

I finish up the painting by adding my highlights and final details at the end of the painting. I make refinements to the clouds adding a bit more highlight and I add highlight using my lightest tones to the white water around the base of the cliffs. For this I am using titanium white with a little yellow oxide. I also add foam to some of the waves in the distant to make it look like there is a swell in the sea. Before I began the painting I sketched out the composition and then a final sketch. I’d always recommend sketching before you begin a painting so you can create a good composition before you start.Using a No.8 flat brush, I loosely mark in the form or the waves and ripples using a combination of ultramarine blue with a little yellow oxide and more titanium white. the I reinforce the shadows by using my original sea mix, ultramarine blue with a little yellow oxide and titanium white but I also add a little phthalo green into the mix too.
