Core Moves

  • Broken Color: Small strokes that optically mix at distance.
  • Soft Edges: Objects merge with atmosphere; focus on transitions.
  • Everyday Subjects: Cafés, rivers, dance classes — modern life, not myth.

Reading Exercises

Step Action Purpose
1 Step back 3–4 meters Let colors fuse
2 Approach 50 cm Study stroke direction
3 Side glance Read edge softness vs hard accents

Artists in Focus

  • Monet: Morning vs evening light; compare sky color to water reflections.
  • Renoir: Warm palettes and social scenes; identify focal clusters.
  • Degas: Movement and off-center framing; draftsmanship beneath color.

Bottom Line

Switch distance frequently; Impressionism resolves through motion — of light and of the viewer.
