Impressionism

Impressionism is a style of painting that has the appearance of being rough and unfinished and characterized by small, thin visible brushstrokes. The subject matter is usually of common and ordinary subjects, emphasizing the accurate depiction of light.

Impressionist art celebrates the use of light and brushwork to convey the very essence of a subject. Essentially, it tells a story without relying on realistic depictions.

Impressionist painting seeks to re-create the artist’s or viewer’s general impression of a scene. It is characterized by indistinct outlines.
