Flower Beds at Vétheuil, Claude Monet, 1881, From the collection of: Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
"Flower Beds at Vétheuil" is an oil on canvas painting by Claude Monet. It was painted in France in 1881. Oil on canvas is my favorite medium because of the way all the colors seem to blend together and the edges are soft, but everything is completely its own at the same time.
"Harvest Under a Crescent Moon" is a wood engraving by Samuel Palmer that has been printed in relief on thin paper. It was carved in Italy in 1826 and depicts farmers harvesting by moonlight. Because it is a relief print the artist had to make every mark in the reverse that he wanted it to show.

"Vase" is a glass vase that was made by Louis Comfort Tiffany. It was made in New York in the United States between the years of 1893 and 1896. I chose this example of glass medium because I liked the simplicity of the vase as a pose to so many of the others that were very busy and covered in various designs.

"Standing Girl" is a charcoal drawing by Egon Schiele. It was drawn in 1908-1909 in Austria and is a drawing of Schiele's teenage sister Gerti. The reason I was really intrigued by this drawing was the intricate and almost grotesque hands he has giver her. They appear weathered and old.

"Road at La Cavée, Pourville" is an oil on canvas painting by Claude Monet. It was completed in 1882 in France.

The artist uses a vanishing point to help the viewer understand the depth of the painting.

Lucerne from the Lake, Joseph Mallord William Turner, 19th century, From the collection of: The Morgan Library & Museum
"Lucerne from the Lake" is primarialy a pencil drawing with watercolor over it. It was created in 1845 by Joseph Mallord William Turner. I chose to add this piece because I enjoyed how the watercolor made everything run together, but how the pencil is there to define the lines anywhere the artist felt that they should be more defined.

"Divan Japonais" is a print originally drawn in crayon, with brush, spatter and was then transferred on screen lithograph and printed. It was drawn by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in 1893 in Paris, France. When looking for a crayon medium I found that most of the works available were very cartoonish. I chose this piece because of its historical relevance.
