Van Gogh research

Vincent Van Gogh was born on 30 March 1853 in Zundert in the southern Netherlands,
the son of a pastor. In 1880, at the age of 27, he decided to become an artist. In 1886,
His style changed significantly under the influence of Impressionism, becoming lighter
and brighter. He painted a large number of self-portraits in this period. Although Van
Gogh is mainly recognized for his vibrant use of color, his drawings are exceptional
because his representation of figures, light and landscape can be appreciated in their
own right without the color to distract the eye. Van Gogh’s drawings were mainly done
in pencil, black chalk, red chalk, blue chalk, reed pen and charcoal, although he often
mixed mediums when drawing. Van Gogh drew on a variety of paper types these
included Ingres paper, laid paper, wove paper as some of the more common’s types.
Although drawing was less expensive than painting, Van Gogh used any material he
had available.

I think that Vang Gogh drawings of trees are really successful because I love how he
sees the landscapes and his technique of drawing them. I really like how he can create
a hole drawing of tress with just relaxing his hand and doing dots, making details very
important. How he creates areas of light and dark with different colors and sizes.
