Impressionists primarily used oil paints, which allowed for vibrant color mixing and quick application. They often painted en plein air (outdoors) and favored lighter, more portable paint tubes over traditional paint pots, enabling them to capture the transient effects of light and atmosphere. This approach contributed to their characteristic loose brushwork and emphasis on capturing the moment.
