Van GOGH (HOLLAND):
HERE IS ONE OF MY FLOWER DIGITAL PAINTINGS IN THE STYLE OF VAN GOGH'S:
TITLED 'HYDRANGEAS', HERE IT IS:
Special thanks to www.freedigitalphoto.net for their use of images as a basis for my digital paintings shown below:
Different styles and techniques of Vincent Van Gogh:
1) Van Gogh's Dutch Palette of Dark Colors:
What you see in both 'church & shoe' paintings above:
light parts concentrated (wide),
shadows thin and shining,
a play of light and dark tonal,
the use of a limited number of colors.
Impression : bit dark and monochrome
2) Van Gogh Palette of Light Colors:
Like the 'giraffe' painting:
light parts concentrated (not as wide as before),
shadows in complementary colors,
a play of colors,
still the use of a limited number of colors.
Impression: light and again a bit monochrome
3) Another Van Gogh Palette:
bright patches of contrasting color,
no shadows in complementary colors,
and the use of a lot of colors.
Impression: light and bright and colorful
I believe most of the digital paintings above painted with impressionistic color palette are in this category.
Van Gogh's Brushwork
Van gogh discovers in Paris the stippling technique of Neoimpressionism, also called Pointillism, and freely experiments with the style. "What is required in art nowadays," he writes, "is something very much alive, very strong in color, very much intensified."
Van Gogh used for a painting only some tubes. Never all. For his masterpiece, The Seine with the Pont de la Grande Jatte, Van Gogh used :
Prussian blue, emerald green, chrome yellow light and vermillion. He mixed the colors not only with white but more with a painters grey. Made from white, brown, may-be some Carmine, the red and blue from the painting.
He made the painting in one rush in a rapid application of paint crossing the center.
Vincent was attempting to create harmony both by intensifying of the colors themselves and by arranging them in their complementary and simultaneous contrasts.
His paintings are in great harmony, and are very powerful.
Impression: light and bright and colorful
The colors and paints which Van Gogh used:
Oranges, Yellows, Blues, Greens, White, Reds.
