Spectacular!!! If I could paint I would want to use colors just as Vincent Van Gogh did.

TRY!!!!!!!!!!

Experiment. Find colors that drive you out of your mind and put them together in ways that chill your back.

Back when Vincent was painting, all the artists did the grunt work to know their anatomy before they modified it in their own work. We’re lazier. Today we accept colors without representation, so the world is wide open.

And thank you. Sincerely.

Van Gogh’s early works were rather dark. Look up the Potato Eaters. His brother told him he needed to spice it up a bit in order to sell his work.

Van Gogh was a modern art collecter’s dream. He was in poor health, drank too much, suffered from mental illness, produced a couple of years of quality work, then shot himself to death.

He had very little professional success and died thinking himself a failure.
