• Manet (a pivotal figure in the movement from Realism to Impressionism, first to paint modern life, was influenced by Courbet).
Notes: Journaling and Still Life. The science and poetry the junctures at the place in the journal.
• Journaling is for what it is, why it appears, intuitions, etc. A place for composing not just in a visual sketch but a word sketch that allows one to work from the inside out, developing one’s imagination. Paint still life which is a small intimate world for enhancing and developing brush skills since it enlarges your world; it’s a proving ground.

• Sisley (Dedicated to landscapes en plein air, painted with Monet and Renoir. The painting surface to express one’s sensations.) He said the painting service is to express animation, which is the hardest part of painting.
• Notes: We are to come to feel nature’s embrace and to transmit to the surface of the canvas one sensation of that moment. Let your brushstrokes move with vigor use your fingers, hand, forearm, full arm, and body; I call it my dancing brush –for full expression, directional brushstrokes.

• Monet (Considered the founder of Impressionism, especially en Plein air landscapes, and was a master on the effects of light on color).
• Notes: Repetition – the importance of painting the same scene allows for study and experiences helping to have mastery over the subject, see the effects of light on the subject. Repetition also helps one find oneself in the subject; we are to linger there, to take up residence. The paintings will reveal how one has changed. Drawing strokes be mimicked in painting strokes. As much as you paint, you draw.
