Local Color

This painting is called Impression Sunrise by Claude Monet. its a great example of local color which is the ways colors might be mixed or how different conditions of light and atmosphere might affect the color. in this painting the sun rising is affecting the sky causing it to be a peach color like the sun. also the lighting affect the picture the back ground is more colorful while the front of the picture is dark because the sun hasn't hit the men and the water yet. I really like the colors and how the artist used the affect of the sun rising to change the lighting of the picture.
