I have two loves ; Impressionism and super, (or Hyper), realism.
Impressionism for all the ' feel they create with the light ....it's amazing how they get a subject perfect - with imperfection . How the light dictates everything .
And super realism for the intense skill and amazing eye. How do they do that ? How can they see in such incredible detail they can analyze beyond realism ? It's just stunning .
Edit : and painting with watercolors -.i love the randomness it enforces into my work .
@SW-User no I don't think so, just a modern example I liked .

@OogieBoogie I saw something similar in the window along the Kings Road, St Leonards. I photographed it, but could not capture it in a watercolour. I suspect I tore it up.
@SW-User I've attempted to do this style of art and it needs a totally different approach , tools and mindset . You really have to loosen the way you see. Restricting yourself to thick paint and a big ass spatula helps a lot 😂
Oh that is absolutely lovely!! 😍😍 You do a wonderful job! I think it’s easiest just to say I like best the art that shows me something I can recognize so I can sit down next to them in my head and imagine the process. If I can’t understand what I’m looking at, I can’t imagine that so well. I can appreciate, but the experience is less personally magical for me.
I prefer impressionism, symbolism, realist art, romanticism... Something I can relate to, draws me in or touches me in some way. My brain can't handle chaotic confusing angles that lacks any sort of structure, lol.
I love wildlife artists. With the exception of an artist named John James Audubon. He used to go out and shoot the birds he painted, had them stuffed, and then posed them so he could paint them. YUCK!!!
