Hi all, today I would like to share a study completed based on the work of the master artist Vincent Van Gogh. I find his art very expressive with excellent use of colours so I thought I could learn a lot by replicating his work. Not only is his portrait very expressive, every colour and stroke he does is full of emotion.
Reference I used
Process
I began like always blocking the main tones of the painting. It is important to cover all the white space. I then started adding details with a smaller brush.
The next steps involved going over the face with another layer but with a greater variety of richer tones. Experimenting with green, purple and orange hues.
The final step I made sure the painting had enough contrast and highlights and added any final details that were previously missing.
Completed oil on paper over several hours
Wow, amazing and lovely drawing of one of the best artist!! Greetings, you're really big artist @iansart
