Hwk: 10/23 Plein air, Color Layering, Percieved Blending

We begun last class by discussing PLEIN AIR (outdoor) paintings and different techniques used by Impressionist and later post-Impressionist painters, to both capture light and express emotion quickly!

Last class we explored BROKEN STROKE and POINTILLISM. This class we are exploring HATCHING. All of these are techniques for laying bits of color right next to each other to create perceived OTHER colors.
