IMPRESSIONISM
Distinct Characteristics:
1. Color and Light
- Short broken strokes
- Pure unmixed colors side by side
- Freely brushed colors (convey
visual effect)
2. Everyday Subjects
- Scenes of life
- Household objects
- Landscapes and Seascapes
- Houses, Cafes, Buildings
3. Painting Outdoors
- Previously, still lifes, portraits, and
landscapes were painted inside the
studio. The impressionists found that
they could best capture the ever-
changing effects of light on color by
painting outdoors in natural light.
4. Open Composition
- Impressionist painting also
moved away from the formal,
structured approach to placing
and positioning
their subjects.
