Artists like William George Puddefoot – like Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir before them – captured fleeting moments of everyday life and natural scenery, emphasizing light and atmosphere over precise detail.
The Impressionist style is characterized by loose brushwork, stippling technique, vibrant colors, and a focus on capturing the effects of light in outdoor settings, often depicting landscapes, seascapes, and urban scenes.
