Dude, your brilliant. I've learnt a lot from you. From watching this video, on how to paint van gogh style. I'm sketching a building, from graphite. And using van gogh, sketching style. And after, I'm going to go over the graphite, using watercolour, glazes. And some the last stage of the sketch, watercolour painting will be in, dry brush style. To help the picture stand out more. From the back of the picture.

I'm doing all of the sketching and painting in van gogh style. But I'm going to use the watercolours, colours, that J. M. W. TURNER used. Got to let you, imagination run off, from time to time. He's my main influence, on art. I use his style on, sketching and painting, most of the time.

Can you paint like Van Gogh with oil pastels?

@mygeekfamilycotton 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Charmaine! I’d say you certainly can achieve some of the same effects. The idea is to let the different layers show through the surface in between the thicker brushstrokes (or in that case pastels)… it would require a bit of adaptation, I guess… but I am not really into oil pastels… can you layer different colors without mixing them?

I am forever looking for an effective limited palette in acrylics - do you use a limited palette or recommendations? Thank you.

@mygeekfamilycotton 2 ай бұрын

I do use a very limited palette : Black(sparingly, as I usually prefer brown+blue) and white, yellow ochre, Vermillion, Cerulean Blue and Burnt umber. a bit like a variation of the Zorn Palette. I sometimes complement this with other colors when I need a more complex and particular hue : purple, vert-de-gris, lime green... that type of things... having said that, I find that, for "classical" portraits and landscapes, the limited palette is already fantastic, although a more "modern" style would call for maybe more popping colors (Maybe you can replace the ochre by a yellow?) Hope that helps?
