Vincent van Gogh had such a profound influence on art that, over 100 years later, he's still one of the most popular and inspiring artists. This project challenges you to create a painting celebrating his unique style.
Whether you use a subject that's closely associated with Van Gogh, such as sunflowers, paint a self-portrait, portrait of a friend, landscape, or still life, is up to you. For inspiration, browse around the on-line galleries of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, the photos from the Van Gogh and Expressionism Exhibition, and the works by Van Gogh in the Famous Painters photo gallery.
The colors Van Gogh used varied as his painting developed. He initially used dark, earth colors, before adding bright hues. For more on this, read Palettes of the Masters: Van Gogh.
Note: New submissions for this project gallery are currently not being accepted. Check the list of monthly painting projects to see what this month's project is.
