Impressionists
Exploring light and colour through studies of the painters whose work makes me happy.
Light, colour, and the painters who inspire me
One of the artists represented in my studies is Hendrick ter Brugghen, a Dutch follower of Caravaggio. His work belongs to an earlier tradition than the Impressionists.
I fell in love with exploring light and colour early in my journey. The process made me happy.
As I have mentioned before, Claude Monet and John Singer Sargent are also favourites. I have enjoyed studying how they capture light, depth, and colour.
I recommend taking a moment to explore other painters such as Édouard Manet, Alfred Sisley, Camille Pissarro, Renoir, Armand Guillaumin, Degas, and Cézanne. There is so much beauty and enjoyment to discover in their work.
Here are a few of the studies I have painted in oils, in various sizes.
