Well, my favorite painter or master artist is the founder of impressionism which is Claude Monet. I really love his works that's full of emotions. His works may not be perfect but he doe's capture the natural colors and emotions of his subject due to the right use of light.
In fact my style of painting is impressionism too. And I use my heart instead of my head when painting. It doesn't matter how my work will look because my real purpose is to express my inner emotions to my viewers which is the real purpose of arts.
That's the reason why I like Claude Monet. He use his heart when painting, thus capturing the real beauty of simplicity and lightness.
So who is your favorite painter, is it Vangogh, Degas, Davinci or is it Monet too? And Why?

I absolutely adore Van Gogh. His paintings, for some reason, just bring a smile to my face. While I also love the other famous painters, Van Gogh is the one that actually made me want to start painting when I was little. I wanted to become famous like him. So, he holds a great inspiration for me.

Yep, I love Van Gogh as well. I was lucky to get to see one of his originals last year. (It was on my bucket list of life things to do.) It was amazing. It was a painting he did during the last weeks of his life when he was in a sanitarium. It was so interesting because parts of the canvas didn't have paint. I also got to see Monet's works.
I love Van Gogh, Monet, and then from this time, The Raw Artist (who got her start selling her work on eBay and is now represented by tons of galleries.), Anthony Micelli (I think that is how his name is spelled.)
