So glad you enjoyed it! It’s not one of the videos that shows a demonstration or describes how to do a particular technique, but it still answers a very common statement made by developing artists who claim their style is “impressionistic” when really their drawing skills just aren’t up to par. I think a lot of artists will be surprised at just how well-honed the Impressionists’ drawing skills were which allowed them to explore various painting styles.
Another great lesson, thanks.
