Painting impressionisem? discover how to paint in Monet trend

Over that time, the Impressionists artists were not very beloved whereas they had a different approach to painting unlike most artists who painted in a very classic way like those of their former masters. The other important Impressionist painters were Pierre Auguste Renoir, Camille Pissarro, Berthe Morisot, and Mary Cassat

The Impressionist artists often do their art outdoors and exemplify the effect of light and color at especial times of the day. Their works are from time to time referred to as ‘captured moments’ which are labeled by brief fast brushstrokes of paint that when viewed thoughtfully, it may look chaotic and unreal. But to Impressionists painters, exposure to light and movement was enough to come up a justifiable and artistic subject out of literally anything. Impressionist painters mastered how to transcribe literally their visual sensations of nature, unconcerned with the actual depiction of an exact subject.

By looking at some Impressionist drawings, you will see that there is a strong interest of the seasonal changes on the similar landscape. The effects of this technique lead us to perceive the dynamic nature of trees, vegetation, sky and clouds. Such method was initiated by Claude Monet and according to some art scholars he perfected how to exchange the season’s impression on the canvas by painting the same landscape again and again in changed seasons and at changed times of the day. With this, Monet painted not the landscape itself, but its impression on his perceive as he kept seeing it. He simplified the subject through his painting making it easy for us to remember it and this is the reason why his drawings are classics.
