 A New Style of Painting Impressionism didn’t prescribe particular painting techniques or subjects, but emphasised observation rather than copying traditional forms. Compositions were often arbitrarily chopped off at the edges, rather than carefully balanced. Paint was layered rather than mixed and brushed on rapidly to capture the moment. The brush strokes from the large flat brushes used were rarely disguised, as seen here.
