Tonalism refers to a style of painting that emerged in the late 19th century, primarily in America, which is characterized by its use of a limited color palette, muted tones, and an emphasis on atmosphere and mood. Tonalist artists often depicted landscapes at dawn, dusk, or in fog, where light and shadow play a central role, creating a sense of quiet and introspective beauty. The focus was less on precise details and more on evoking an emotional response through soft, harmonious color transitions.

In this Zoom Demo, I guide you step-by-step through creating a moody, soft-toned morning scene.

Key elements of Tonalism include:

• Focus on mood: The paintings evoke a sense of calm, often using misty or twilight settings.
• Atmospheric effects: The use of soft light and shadow to create a dreamlike or poetic feeling.
• Minimalism: While there may be some detailed foreground elements, overall, Tonalist works often avoid sharp outlines and focus on blending forms and colors.

Whether you’re painting along or simply watching, this demo will offer tips and techniques to add new depth to your work.
