Evaluate the drafted changes
Overall, I think you did a great job of improving this article. There was very little to begin with and I felt like I learned a lot just from what you included. I noted some edits for each section. My edits are bolded and I struck through what could be deleted. I also suggest adding images for the examples you cited. I would also include wiki links to the following terms as soon as they are first mentioned: Fauvism; Expressionism; Andre Derain; Henri Matisse; Kapists; en plein air; Color Field painting; Les Nabis;

Section 1: Lead
'''I would suggest adding more to the introduction here. Even if it is as simple as naming certain artists or specific works of art to give more context right off the bat. The oil painting wiki for examples begins with "Oil painting is the process of painting with pigments with a medium of drying oil as the binder." I would include something similar to the first statement. For example:'''

"Colourist painting is a style of painting  characterized by the use of intense colour, which becomes the dominant feature of the resultant work of art, more important than its other qualities. Also add something about how it is associated with several art movements

Section 2: Influences
"The French Impressionism movement of the 19th century was influential on (in)? the development of Colourist painting and other similar movements such as Fauvism and Expressionism."

I think your edit here is great. I would include links to the wiki articles for Fauvism and Expressionism. I would also include images comparing colourist painting to French impressionism.

Section 3: Styles
''Aspects of Colourist painting can be found in a number of art styles and movements that developed in the years after Impressionism. Notably, the Fauvists of the early 20th century are seen as the movement which brought Colourist painting to prominence. (1. I would include a citation here) Many of the Fauvists were interested in color theory, especially with the relationship between complementary colors. Artists such as André Derain and Henri Matisse, the founders of Fauvism, are known for their use of bold, sometimes unnatural colors.  (2. I would clarify what unnatural means here) Similarly, the Expressionist movement of the 20th century is also known for its use of intense color. ''

While experimentation with art and art styles was quite popular in France, other countries had their own experimental art movements. (3. change wording here)


 * 1) I think it would be helpful to add something like "historians regard Fauvists of the 20th century as the prime architects of the colourist movement" or just add citation to back up that point.
 * 2) By unnatural colors do you mean that they experimented with sort of bright artificial pigments as opposed to colors derived from natural sources? I think you would follow up that statement with clarification and it would be good.
 * 3) I would change to something like "While many experimental art movements developed out of France, countries like Scotland and Poland also made contributions to colourist painting"
