The brief required me to make a book on Claude Monet for children of the age group 5 to 10 in a 16 page format. This was the first book I made as a part of the Master Painter series for Om Books. The research for this project required me to study about the painter elaborately, obviously and I happened to develop an interest in art and also taking a course in art history. That is how much I enjoyed doing this project and turning each page into a painting itself.
I conceptualised the entire book, working with senior artists at the company and learning different colouring styles in Photoshop.
The following are the initial detailed sketches for the storyboard.

As Monet grew older, he went to Paris to study art.
