The Impressionist Painters
NEXT
Impressionist Techniques
• Impasto method: thick paint application where brushstrokes are visible
• Little mixing paint on the canvas – colors appear more vivid
• Upper layers of paint are added while the lower layers are still wet – creates softer edges
NEXT
Impressionist Techniques
• The surface is usually opaque – no glazing used.
• Focus on the effects of light on objects and the reflection of objects on others in the scene
• Study of effets de soir—the shadows of objects in the evening or twilight
• Shadows in outdoor scenes are created using blue to show the reflection of the sky.

Conclusion
“Encompassing what its adherents argued was a different way of seeing, it is an art of immediacy and movement, of candid poses and compositions, of the play of light expressed in a bright and varied use of colour.”
