What was Morisot's approach to capturing light?
Light, for me, is not merely illumination but a vibrant force that defines form and atmosphere. I observed how it shifted and played upon surfaces, how it could soften edges or accentuate textures. My technique involved applying paint with a fresh, direct touch, allowing the colors to mingle on the canvas, much as the eye perceives them in a sunlit environment. It was about conveying the sensation of light, its warmth, its ephemeral quality.
