Navy. A grain

Hi everyone, I'm Isabella! Today, we're going to look at a painting of the ocean. Have you ever been to the beach? nn This painting is called "Navy. A Grain," and it was painted by an artist named Eugène Louis Boudin a long time ago in 1886. nn Look at how big the waves are! Can you almost feel the sea spray on your face? nn The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Morlaix, the museum where this painting lives, is very happy to share it with you. nn What colors do you see in the sky? nn The sky looks kind of scary, doesn't it? It makes the sailboats look very tiny. nn What do you think it would be like to be on one of those boats? nn The artist used his paintbrush to make the waves look like they are moving. He also used different shades of blue and gray to make the sky look stormy. nn What do you think is going to happen to the sailboats? nn This painting is very special because it shows how powerful the ocean can be. It also reminds us of how small we are compared to nature. nn Thank you for looking at this painting with me today! I hope you learned something new about the ocean and about art.
