Sunset impressionism | gouache painting on watercolour paper
One of the hallmarks of impressionism is the accurate depiction of light and colour in its changing qualities. It is an artistic style that seeks to capture a feeling or an experience rather than a realistic depiction of the scene. I just love this philosophy.
When working with analog materials, I love to work quickly, so impressionism suits my style. I do not have the patience for detailed works, and I really admire those who claim ten, twenty, sometimes even more than a hundred hours in their works. Impressionism is just that—seeking to capture a feeling, a first impression, to evoke an emotion in the viewer.
In this piece, I aimed to capture the warmth and serenity of the scene as it appealed to me. How does it make you feel?

You have portrayed warmth (warm colours) and serenity (cool colours) and not easy to achieve. Well done, it's beautiful.
I also paint and do pastels and cannot ever work for hours! I imagine it is something in our natures.
Thank you! One artist I had in mind (Living Soul Fine Art on Facebook) does these amazing portraits in oil pencils, more than a hundred hours in her works. No way could I be that patient and dedicated!!

It looks so calm, no rush at all
Thank you! Indeed, I work quickly but feel relaxed and calm when painting so I’m glad it feels calm.

Your drawing makes me want to see you draw in person. Maybe one day when I come to Australia with organ recital, I can see you draw from up close...
It's a race to see if I get to Vilnius first...
