Impressionism might be the most recognisable painting style in the history of art.
Because the first exhibition of the Impressionists was this month in 1874 and there is a major exhibition at the National Gallery, I thought I would take a look at Impressionism. I had a general idea of what it was but as I looked further into it I found out more about why these artists were pioneers and what they were trying to achieve. I thought I would see if I could paint in the style of the Impressionists by following their philosophy and the Impressionist painting techniques.
