Impressionism, the practice of painting outdoors from landscapes and the every day life, is in the spotlight for Tate's exhibition 'EY: Impressionists in London' (open until the 7th May). Known for it's 'on the spot' impulsivity, as opposed to painting from sketches in a studio, the origins of Impressionism are still debated between British painter John Constable, and Paris-based painter Claude Monet.
