Answer
Monochrome watercolour was Claude's preferred medium for many of his drawings. This technique involves using a single colour of watercolour paint, diluted with water to create varying shades and tones. Watercolour allows for delicate washes and subtle gradations, which Claude used to capture the atmospheric effects and soft, hazy light that characterise his landscapes.
