How I turn an unfinished painting into an impressionist figurative painting.?

I turn an unfinished painting into an impressionist figurative painting by adding soft colors and gentle shapes like a rainbow appears in the sky.

Imagine you have a drawing of a person, but it's just outlines, like when you draw a stick figure on your notebook. That’s like having a sketchy portrait. Now, to make it look more like how people really are, I add colors, not just one color for each part, but many soft ones that mix together.

It’s like when you have a crayon drawing, and instead of using only red for the apple, you use pink, orange, and yellow, so it looks like it's glowing in the sunlight. That’s how I give my paintings more life, with blending and layering, just like building up a cake with different flavors.

When you look at an impressionist painting, it doesn’t feel too perfect, it feels like a moment captured in time. So I add some light, some shadows, maybe even some movement, like when someone is walking, not just standing still.

It’s like playing with playdough, you start with simple shapes, then squish and smooth them to make something that looks real but still feels fun and a little wobbly.
