Painting Like the Impressionists

---

Impressionism, an art movement pioneered by a handful of avant-garde painters based in Paris in the1870s, gave academic oil painting a vivacity and spontaneity it had previously lacked, and remains tothis day the single most popular style of art for gallery-goers and amateur painters alike. Thiselegantly-written book, by a professional artist and scholar, is both an instructional guide toincorporating Impressionist techniques into your own painting, and an illuminating investigation intohow those first Impressionists actually painted their pictures. As such, it will fascinate both the painterand the art historian. This new book provides detailed advice on paints, brushes and canvas, as used bythe original Impressionists and still widely available today. It discusses the process of making anImpressionist painting from initial vision to final completion and analyses the role of composition, light and tone, colour and paint handling. Finally, it gives an overview of the subject matter most closely associatedwith the Impressionists.
