A few weeks ago, I had a beautiful bouquet of sunflowers. I simply had to draw it in several different ways. All the while, I had van Gogh’s sunflowers in the back of mind.
The first version turned out very tame and boring, so I’ll probably rework it. Actually, I like the vase in the first version the best.
The second version is on A5 paper, and I like it much better. I tried to be bolder and more relaxed with the colors and strokes.

He really was brilliant.

Anche l'arte ogni tanto ha bisogno di una spuntatina.

Van Gone

Kevin's Limerick of the Day

Van Gone

Van Gogh in a bar by the pier
Was asked, “Would you like, sir, a beer?”
He replied to the gent
In a Cockney accent
“No thanks, because I have one ‘ere”

I'm still in my Van Gogh experiment phase.
I once painted a sheet of paper with colorful patches of watercolor and didn't know what to do with it. Now it's become a great base for this #drawing with Neocolor II. Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of it because I was in such a hurry to get started. 😆
The tree on the right is Japanese-inspired. 😉
In any case, Caran d’Ache Neocolor II crayons work really well on rough paper for painting with wild strokes.

Copying the wild, dynamic strokes were a lot of fun and almost came by themselves.
Sometimes they were contemplative, liberating, or even vigorously.
I can only imagine the energy van Gogh put into painting his masterpiece, which was three times that size. Wow!
I hope that doesn't sound too silly.

I admire van Gogh's works and read a biography of him many years ago. To learn his craft, he studied and copied Japanese woodblock prints and drew inspiration from them.
Now I’ve copied “The Starry Night” based on a photo from Wikipedia using Caran D’Ache Neocolor II on a wash of watercolor with French ultramarine. My version measures 23 x 31 cm.
I didn't sign it because it isn't “my” work, after all.
