How Van Gogh Mixed His Paints: A Cornfield, with Cypresses

In this video I demonstrate how Vincent van Gogh mixed his paints using his 1889 painting 'A Cornfield, with Cypresses' as an example. I describe the palette he used based on historical research, and show the different ways he physically mixed paint. This video is part of a short series I have made to help you steal from Vincent - arguably the greatest master of colour. Don't forget to subscribe to see more from Great Artists Steal!
You can download the National Gallery Technical Bulletin I refer to via this link: www.nationalgallery.org.uk/re...

    This video is amazing and should get a bigger audience! And I wish you were my art teacher, you know how to explain in a simplified way.

    I think most painters organisevtheir palette before beginning and then adjust accordingly as they paint.
