# Impressionism carries the structure. Neo-Impressionism appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Impressionism (Style, 1860s–1880s) and its accent from Neo-Impressionism (Style, 1886–1900). Structural cues: Short, divided touches of paint; Shadows made without black; Natural light outdoors; Composition that catches an instant. Accent cues, used sparingly: Dots placed at even intervals; Vibration from juxtaposed complementaries; Pure colours never mixed; A framing effect from a dotted border. Composition: Move off center and let the edge of the frame cut the subject.. Type and lettering: Keep the lightness of the hand and do not tighten the page with a rigid face.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Unmixed pure colour in uniform touches, complements set side by side to vibrate. Mood: Exhilaration, Calm, Intimacy, Technology, Trust. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Impressionism: Imitating the brushwork alone produces nothing but blur. The real decision is which color goes into the shadow.
# - Neo-Impressionism: Avoid irregular, gestural dabs—once the dots lose their even discipline the optical mixture fails and the surface turns into loose Impressionism.
