- Landscape art: subdued, profound, and spiritual
- Intimate, poetic and expressive style of landscape art, relying on soft-edged broadly painted tonalities to communicate emotion
- Neutral palette of predominantly cool colours
- Technique of glazing, the layering
- Mystery, dream, memory, and imagination
- Atmosphere is both palpable and evocative of poetic and meditative states.

Honours Workshop Diary 15 - Reflection on Tonalism
After extensive research into tonalism I made a summary of the main trademarks of this expressive style. Especially the mystical, dreamy effect the layering often causes fascinates me a lot and is very aesthetic. I'm afraid this can not be implemented into my digital art though as it is alone a traditional effect that can be achieved in its practical existent from. However it is possible to work with different opacities in the digital medium which also allows the creation mystical impressions.
