# 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 Post-Impressionism (Style, 1880s–1900s). Structural cues: Short, divided touches of paint; Shadows made without black; Natural light outdoors; Composition that catches an instant. Accent cues, used sparingly: A constructed order of brushstrokes; Flat, forceful fields of color; Undulating line that carries emotion; Inquiry into form ahead of subject. 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: Thick paint, with the borders between fields of color left visible.. Mood: Exhilaration, Calm, Intimacy, Technology. 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.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Painting Techniques, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Impressionism: Imitating the brushwork alone produces nothing but blur. The real decision is which color goes into the shadow.
# - Post-Impressionism: Do not treat it as a single style. Name each time whose solution you mean.
