my favorite part of impressionism is when artists just hung out and painted each other painting. 

oil paint isnt cheap, but john singer sargent wanted to paint his homie claude havin a nice day. thats sweet.

and heres gaugin’s painting of van gogh painting the sunflowers. damn he knew it would be #iconic and he memorialized the event. what a good friend
