Who would I interview dead or alive?

After long thought, i considered a few people that I would interview dead or alive. Some including famous people like Victor Hugo, Claude Monet or my mother. All of these people have their personal stories that the world would be willing to hear about but i would really like to sit down with one or some of them for a cup of coffee and and ask them questions about their self.

In the end, I would interview Claude Monet, my favorite impressionist painter, father of impressionism, and pioneer of plein air art.

So here is how the interview would go in my head:

We'd sit in a café in France, order some baguettes and some coffee, take out a couple of sketch pads, oil pastels, a tape recorder and a poloroid camera to document the moment. 

Here are my questions:

1. What got you thinking about plein air?

2.How did plein air painting affect your painting in comparison to studio art?

3. What were your favorite paints?

4. Of all of your landscapes, which was your favorite?

5. What painting would you ever paint over again? 

6. Who was your art inspiration? Why

7. If you were alive today, what playlist would you paint to?

8. How do you feel about being called the father of impressionism? What tips would you give to impressionist lovers now?

9. Which was your favorite landscape to paint, Paris, London or Netherlands?

10. What techniques would you use to mentally prepare yourself before painting a landscape? 

If anyone finds these questions interesting and wants to pretend to be Monet and answer these questions, i would be very amused and publish them in another blog post. 

P.s. the photos I used are not my own. They come from google images as I googled "Claude Monet".
