How Van Gogh Mixed His Paints: The Chair
Welcome to this video where I give another demonstrate of how Vincent van Gogh mixed his paints and colours, this time using 'The Chair' as the example. Using his palette I show you how I identify and mix his colours using my two-colour system, including how to darken and lighten mixes and what to do if you think it's going wrong (don't panic! - it's all about proportions).
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!

Really helpful advice to get to a beautiful colour instead of my usual mud. Particularly love the viridian/ultra marine blue colour mix.
Thank you for your all videos!!!

Thanks for such high praise
Thank you so much for the video, fascinating mixing and colors. So much subtlety in the broken (the real meaning of the word, before impressionists reinvented it) hues!

It is a pleasre. Thanks for such positive feedback.
Thank you Ian this is brilliant, I finally understand. I just couldn’t understand by listening but seeing this demonstration it has all clicked into place 🙏🏻 I continue to draw and paint and miss your classes at Scola. I had been attending odd days with London Drawing before lockdown. Have attended classes with John Carberry & Sisetta Zappone printmaking, Kim Scouller Portraits and with John Close theatrical sets in St Pancras Church & Crypt -recreating Francis Bacon, William Blake, Egon Schiele -fast sketching actors and models. This is perfect timing i shall colour mix with consideration now. You have taught me well. Thank you. Stay safe. 😊Sam

You are not the first person tp say that. I am partial hearing so maybe I say it slightly wrong.
