Impressionist Artists

a brief history

Heralded as a daring new movement within the art world, Impressionism existed as an exciting time for artists that was full of trial and error. Suddenly, the outdoors held great appeal for artists, who began painting what became known as en plein air paintings, whereby artists painted outside.

key characteristics

Artists focused on the key elements of light and motion and worked on ways to manipulate these aspects in their paintings. Vibrant tones were chosen. Very little detail was given to subjects, as artists placed focus on creating soft yet visible brushstrokes to create the illusion that there were no brushstrokes at all.
