Austere De Stijl
When studying art history in college, De Stijl always stood out for me because it was so distinctive. De Stijl, which translates to âThe Style,â was a Dutch art and architecture movement founded in 1917. Also known as Neoplasticism, the approach has many strict rules, including using only vertical and horizontal lines and rectangular shapes in black, white, gray, and primary colors (red, blue, and yellow).
For this paletteâs primaries, use your purest pigments. For instance, a neutral blue like cobalt or royal blue is a better fit than an indigo or navy (both of which lean toward violet) or a turquoise (which tends toward green).
For the texture swatch, I decided to create my own De Stijl composition.
TECHNIQUE NOTES Swatching this movement is challenging because of its many restrictions. Although I limited myself to black and the three primaries, I followed watercolorâs lead and swatched those colors in different values by modifying the amount of water in each swatch to create some visual variation. Note that this is the only palette in the book where the colors arenât mixed together.
Shimmering Impressionism
Nineteenth-century Impressionism, originally centered in Paris, is famous for a specific style of brushstroke that is repetitive, relatively small, and uses lighter tones of paint to allude to the effects of reflected light.
The movementâs name comes from Claude Monetâs Impression, Sunrise, painted in 1892, when an art critic in France published a satirical review of the style. Hence the name âImpressionism.â Another inspiring painting is Monetâs VĂ©theuil in Summer, 1880. In this scene from the Seine River, the shimmering effect of repetitive brushstrokes on water demonstrates the importance Monet placed on representing light accurately.
In honor of this movement, I experimented with mixing color by laying out numerous short brushstrokes. The direction and value of each stroke is incredibly important to create enough contrast.
COLOR NOTES This palette is soft, romantic, and slightly muted. The painting mainly depicts a cool vibe with light greens and blues as accents and details of lovely peachy tones. To create the perfect peach, water down an orange mix or add a touch of white gouache to give it a creamy appearance.
Swirling Art Nouveau
Art Nouveau arose when European art was heavily academic. The movement drew inspiration from such styles as two-dimensional Japanese woodblock prints, Rococo curves, and Celtic motifs. Organic yet structured, applications of this style moved beyond the canvas and fine art to poster art, stained glass, architecture, metal art, jewelry, ceramics, textiles, and wallpapers, to name a few. Itâs an important ancestor to what we know as graphic design. The movement also paved the way for Art Deco and Modernism.
Iâm pretty sure this is my favorite movement, specifically pieces by artists like Gustav Klimt and Alphonse Mucha. Our reference design is Muchaâs The Arts: Poetry, 1898.
The color palette is muted and soft, and an exemplary use of split-complementary color harmony. Orange tones make perfect contrast with the various blue and green shades, plus a touch of neutrals. I used complementaries in the color mixing process, adding a touch of blue to the orange mix to dull the bright and sunny feel and gain a...
