Hi everyone, this video is about creating your own post impressionist painting. First, a little bit about post impressionism. Post impressionism was an art movement that developed roughly in the 1880s. It went further than impressionism and exaggerated the depiction of objects in the paintings. It focused on the symbolism rather than the natural depiction of light. For them it was more about an emotional experience rather than a realistic depiction. Artists chose to let the viewers eyes do the blending of colours and use dabs of vibrant paint, which gave an illusion of subtle shading. So ok, let's do this. Just try and capture the form. They try to get the form but not in a realistic manner. Just use dabs of paints without blending. The artist that most people are familiar with is Winston-Bangog. Do go check out his work if you haven't already. As you start adding paint above each other, just dabs of paint. It gives an illusion that it's blending. Because even though you're not blending colours, you're still using these different colour tones to try and capture the image. It's the universe itself. So it's the viewer's eyes that's going to do the blending of collageons to create this beautiful depiction of sunset. Okay that's it guys. Do you think my painting is bringing out that emotional experience? Do leave a comment and leave your thoughts and of course do give it a shot yourself. Thanks for watching.
