click to read more about Impressionism
the term is applicable also to music i believe,
i bought a book a few weeks ago about impressionism artists,
because i wanted to read more about Renoir,
and since i have time during the weekend, i shall TRY to paint!
Monet looks like a very colorful artists, and i like colors,
despite the difficulty........... i shall TRY!
Garden in Giverny - Claude Monet (1902)
i pick this out of so many cos there's no HUMAN to paint(i think human are the hardest!)
i dont think i need to SKETCH,
so i went straight to mixing water colors and DOTTING them,
took me 2 hours.....
so newbie right? :) but i honestly really like my work this time!
its more like my 'impression' of the 'impressionism' by Monet,
if u know what i mean? not the EXACT copy but an impression copy, ha!
ps: i miss the National Art Gallery in Trafalgar Square, London immensely!

Hey Feiwen, I just checked out your new website, and it is great! I am impressed by your impressionist learning process. 好靚呀！Everything is learned by copying, and we artists will develop into our own once we mastered everything. I did learn impressionist oil painting before and it was fun. Since it is not my style, I stopped practicing. :p Another suggestion that you can learn impressionism with exact effect, use oil pastels. I know a fine teacher of mine who taught me oil painting, he is an established artist with keen usage of oil pastels, every illustrations remind me of Monet or Manet.
