American artists traveled to France to learn this new style of painting from the French artists who were promoting it. California also had artists who traveled from near and far to paint in plein air to capture the beautiful landscapes, mountains, coast and sea in this new impressionist style of painting. The artists in the South who painted in plein air, captured the sunlight of developing towns and shoreline with attractive colors that brought landscapes, seascapes and coastal scenes to life. The artists to the north utilized a tonalist style of painting that captured the fog and cloudy atmosphere of these areas.
