Sunset in the Horizon (2008) A3, Poster Paint

This artwork is an abstract art, which shows a sunrise scene in the horizon and a bench beneath a tree with a few people sitting on it. It was done using poster paints and inspired by the artwork “Impression - Sunrise” by Claude Monet, leader of the Impressionists movement.
Evidence of the Impressionists’ style is the use of bright colors as well as the unfinished look of the painting. Swift and broken strokes of color are also regularly used in the artwork. This is especially evident in the strokes of white on the surface of the water, which serves to portray the shimmering effect of light on water, yet another evidence of Impressionism.

Forms are depicted by colors instead of lines, which appeal more to the viewer’s sense of sight. They are also reduced to its simplest shapes so as to preserve simplicity and originality in this work of art. The use of bold brushstrokes is employed throughout the artwork. Overall, the composition of the artwork seems to be balanced.
