What Is The Best Advice For Painting In The Style Of Van Gogh?
I am doing a self portrait – in acrylics. I am copying the style of Van Gogh’s own self portrait, “Bandaged Ear” and I need some tips.
I am not painting in oil as he did so other than using oils what can I do? I want my portrait to look as if it is a partner to Van Gogh’s own piece, as if they were meant to be a pair.
I need advice on mixing colors, painting strokes, texture, lighting, etc…. anything would be helpful. Thanks!
short brush strokes
the colors are somewhat expressionistic.. the colors should not be an exact match to reality.. exaggerate it a bit.. so use blues for shading rather than black etc.
try to add some sort of visual movement with the small brush strokes.. kinda making it look like a zillion tiny wiggly worms are creating the picture =)
use soft edges and curves

Baby Einstein – Baby Van Gogh – World of Colors $19.99 The Baby Einstein Company’s “video board books” were designed as music-focused developmental tools to stimulate babies’ brains (prompted by research proving that exposure to classical melodies can improve verbal ability, spatial intelligence, creativity, and memory in youngsters).
