Ash Can School paintings have a loose and spontaneous style, very different from the polished techniques taught in the American art academies of the period. A slap-dash, rapid handling of the paint left individual brushstrokes and the paint was applied thickly. Ash Can painters used a dark, subdued palette--a result of Robert Henri's trip to Europe, where he became captivated with Goya, Velazquez, Hals and Manet.
