Impressionism was a 19th-century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists whose independent exhibitions brought them to prominence in the 1870s and 1880s. Post-Impressionists extended Impressionism while rejecting its limitations: they continued using vivid colours, thick application of paint, distinctive brushstrokes and real-life subject matter, but they were more inclined to emphasize geometric forms, to distort form for expressive effect, and to use unnatural or arbitrary colour.This video is part of the “Palette” project and pays homage to Impressionism and Post-Impressionism.

The Impressionists with Tim Marlow is EXCLUSIVELY DISTRIBUTED by Microcinema DVD. To order this DVD and/or others distributed by Microcinema, go to: www.microcinemadvd.com.

The Impressionists have become the international superstars of Western painting. The works of Manet, Monet, Renoir, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Cezanne and the great successors of Impressionism like Gauguin and Van Gogh appear everywhere and are well loved by the public and academics alike. In addition to their popularity and accessibility, for their time impressionist paintings were radical works of art, which instigated a revolution in the art world. The Impressionists broke away from traditional, academic art in their technique – by using touches of colour to capture movement and light and in their subject matter, depicting ordinary people at work and leisure in Paris and on the banks of the Seine. In this series, “The Impressionists with Tim Marlow”, we are reacquainted with the artists – their motivations and loves, triumphs and disappointments and with their work. Marlow takes us on a journey through late nineteenth-century France and he invites us to immerse ourselves in the greatest impressionist works of art.

A demonstration of how I go about setting up my palette for oil painting..

I’ve recieved some great questions so Im going to answer them here (confounded word count!):

As far as what goes on in the palette, I mix basic groups, more so when Im landscape painting, but I dont spend too much time planning (on purpose). Dont use as many greys as Picasso did but maybe I will some day. I use a lot of white, basing my mixes on it like Gauguin did. I love to experiment and avoid formulas. My palette always changes and often spins out of control but thats ok as I only take an hour or two to paint. Sometimes I work with 2 palettes. I rarely use a single hue to harmonize from the palette but rather let the wet (or dry) underpainting unify the painting based on the mood or temp I want to express. Also the messy brushes help add unpredicted colors and if it gets muddy I just lift it with more pigment. Need lots of rags to do this and I limit my use of turpenoid, going with pure linseed oil and sometimes copal medium and Damar varnish. I should do a demo on my way of using mediums and mixing..
Ive done a few great paintings on a limited palette (see Presidio Doorway on my site) but the painting ends up looking a bit too traditional for me so I usually dont do that. Lately I think, the more color the better and the more one can successfully get away with using pure color balanced with a touch of tonalism (one to three ration of complimentary colors) the better.
