Magic of Impressionism - 168

This week we talk about the ability of the great artists to create impressionism. Up close a picture may look like it has no form but from a distance it looks completely realistic. We also talk about graphite pencils to use for watercolour work, the lightfastness of pastel pencils and drawing trees.
