Impressionism is seen as an outgrowth ofthe scientific observation of light and an increasing understanding of its properties.
Artists saw themselves as “ultra realists”- capturing light and color on canvas as it really is.
The subject of impressionist painting is light and color, not really the objects chosen.
A focus on the flux and ephemerality of human perception

• Short, thick strokes of paint are used to quickly capture the essence of the subject, rather than its details. The paint is often applied impasto.
• Colors are applied side-by-side with as little mixing as possible, creating a vibrant surface. The optical mixing of colors occurs in the eye of the viewer.
• Grays and dark tones are produced by mixing complementary colors. In pure Impressionism the use of black paint is avoided.
• Wet paint is placed into wet paint without waiting for successive applications to dry, producing softer edges and an intermingling of color.

• Impressionist paintings do not exploit the transparency of thin paint films (glazes) which earlier artists built up carefully to produce effects. The surface of an Impressionist painting is typically opaque.
• The play of natural light is emphasized. Close attention is paid to the reflection of colors from object to object.
• In paintings made en plein air (outdoors), shadows are boldly painted with the blue of the sky as it is reflected onto surfaces, giving a sense of freshness and openness that was not captured in painting previously.
