The next art movement that I just had to look at was Impressionism and post impressionism. I think some of the most famous and amazing painters thrived in this period. Monet, Cezanne, Degas and of course Van Gogh. 'Starry night' is another of my favourite paintings because i love the way it captures the moment of the sky and the blazing light of the stars. My favourite thing about Van Gogh was that he would often paint the same place at different times and he would always capture a different atmosphere. My study only took me about 10 minutes and I used chalk pastels so i could blend the colours, but I think i might try it again with oil pastels so i can have a go at capturing more of his mark making style.
