Artist Winslow Homer traveled widely. During these working trips he preferred to paint with watercolors because they were easy to carry, and he could work outdoors and observe nature directly. With quick brushstrokes he captured crashing waves and the visual effects of changing light. Winslow Homer, "Breezing Up (A Fair Wind)," 1873–1876 #Homer #Teachers #K12 #art #artsed

Green Wheat Fields, Auvers
Artist Vincent Van Gogh's energetic strokes describe the movement of grassy stalks in the breeze, their patterned undulations creating a woven integral form anchored at the right by a juncture of field, road, and sky. The paint is applied in thick impasto, creating the textured surface of Van Gogh's best-loved paintings.

The Bridge at Argenteuil
From a distance of ten feet or so, artist Claude Monet's brushstrokes blend to yield a convincing view of the Seine river and the pleasure boats that drew tourists to Argenteuil. Up close, however, each dab of paint is distinct, and the scene dissolves into a mosaic of paint—brilliant, unblended tones of blue, red, green, yellow. Claude Monet, "The Bridge at Argenteuil," 1874 #Monet #Texture #art #artsed #k12 #teaching
