Impressionism Impressionism is referred to as the most important art movement of the 19th century. The term impressionism came from a painting by Claude Monet. His painting was titled titled Impression Sunrise. Impressionism is about capturing fast fleeting moments with color, light, and surface. Monotype A one of a kind print made by painting on smooth metal, creating a texture that is not possible to paint directly on paper. Silver print This generic term covers all prints made on paper that is coated with silver salts. Black and white photographs are usually silver prints Tempera Tempera is a word used to describe any type of binder such as oil, water or egg that makes a pigment workable as a paint form. Giclee on Canvas or paper A GICLEE (pronounced ZHEE-clay) comes from the French term for "fine spray". A giclee print is created with digital printers using four tiny ink jets that spray more than 4 million microscopic water-based coloured ink droplets per second onto a sheet of fine art paper or a canvas, spinning on a drum at the rate of 250 inches per second. Precise computer calculations control these ink jets to produce over 500 shades of dense, water-based ink. A computer directly scans an artist s original work to control the jets - no printing film or plates are used. The final product is a superior, lush, vibrant, near original quality, textured art print; one that has the feel of a watercolour, and the look of an original lithograph. A Giclee has more long-term value and is the highest quality fine art reproduction available. aAcrylic paints - Synthetic paints , with pigments dispersed in a synthetic vehicle made from polymerized acrylic acid esters, the most important of which is polymethyl methacrylate. First used by artists in the late 1940s, their use has come to rival that of oil paints because of their versatility. They can be used on nearly any surface , in transparent washes or heavy impasto , with matte , semi-gloss , or glossy finishes . Acrylic paints dry quickly, do not yellow, are easily removed with mineral spirits or turpentine (use acetone if those don t remove enough), and can clean up with soap and water. Complementary Colors Complementary colors are those which appear opposite to one another on a color wheel. The complimentary colors are red and green, blue and orange, and yellow and purple. Shade Using a mixture of black mixed with a color to make it darker. The opposite of shade is tint.
