I know you mentioned Shading an all that. I used to draw photorealistic but I felt that it was an empty sort of exercise. Thats what personally helped me with getting things right. I recommend anyone learning to pick up 'drawing on the right side of the brain'.
Don't equate impressionism with not being able to do this. Learning "how to see" is definitely the cornerstone in becoming a better artist, though. You need a handle (hah) on your brushwork and how you react to what you see. Not to knock it, but this sort of work takes a different kind of skill. I am honestly tired seeing a photorealistic drawing and then clicking the comments just to see "Wow! I thought it was a photo" over and over again. Infusing a photo with emotion and meaning makes you advanced. Copying a photo does not make you advanced. What you need for impressionist painting comes off the back of photorealism. Painting impressionistically is not beginner either.
