Held by The Art Institute of Chicago and released as Public domain (Art Institute of Chicago, CC0). It is here to paint after: give us your own line and the painters take its brushwork, its palette and its light, and none of its subject.

Paint in this style Order a print

A print of the painting itself, up to 20 × 30 inches. Nothing larger, because it would arrive soft.

Painting after it: The painters take its handling, its surface and its light. Your line, or your photograph, stays the subject.
The credit: Every painting made after it carries “after Claude Monet (1840–1926), Water Lilies, The Art Institute of Chicago” on its plaque, and on the share page.
The licence: Public domain (Art Institute of Chicago, CC0), as the museum states it. The credit travels with it everywhere we show it, and it is never enlarged.
