Visual Scene
Impressionism in painting captures a moment's fleeting atmosphere.

The soft light in this artwork is very Impressionism-like.
Not Detailed
Impressionist art focuses more on general effect than fine detail.

Look at how the brushstrokes suggest the leaves, that's classic Impressionism.
Subjective Perception
Impressionism reflects personal responses to a scene or subject.

The painter uses Impressionism to show how the landscape feels, not just how it looks.
