This is what Van Gogh was doing, and it's also why photos of his paintings (and Monet's) are not very good. Cameras don't have a brain that interprets optical mixing so it doesn't show it as well, but if you walked up close to this painting you'd see he does it.pic.twitter.com/OqmKaEP93k
I'll do a better actual process demo tomorrow, but that's the "theory" behind the Russian Impressionism style. It's exploiting things about paint that normally cause people problems but in this style make for very interesting energetic paintings full of color and abstraction.
Ehem...assuming you can actually do it. Since it is using some common mistakes to make a painting sometimes you go too far and then end up actually just making a painting that's a muddy horrible mess that makes no sense. But, that's why the palette knife is for. Scrape it!
Final point: With all impressionist art you have to look at them from two distances: 1. Far away and they "snap" together and look real with a glow and movement to them. It sometimes hurts people's eyes. 2. Up close and it looks abstract and interesting. Stand back and look:pic.twitter.com/Ft5qZqoHNQ
Addendum: I almost forgot 1 tiny point that helps this style work: One "rule" you do follow is to remove texture from the dark passages. If you have texture in shadows then they look like they aren't shadows because they have "volume", so you knife them down periodically.pic.twitter.com/38Hrl8XDuR
