The techniques in Impressionist paintings include:
- Short, thick strokes of paint to capture the essence of the subject, rather than the details.
- Colours are applied side-by-side with as little mixing as possible
- No black paint - grays and dark tones are produced by mixing complementary colours.
- Wet paint is painted wet paint without waiting for it to dry, which makes softer edges.
- Paint is applied to a white or light-colored background.
- Natural light is emphasized, and close attention is paid to the reflection of color.
