Impressionism

Impressionist artists often paint landscapes and nature. They tried to represent the way light changed the look and colors of their subject. For example, a scene may look different in the morning than at noon or in the evening. Instead of mixing colors on the canvas they usually used short brush strokes of contrasting colors side by side. 

Artists:

Claude Monet


Mary Cassatt
