Sisters Art Lab - monthlong challenge - March - Impressionism - Vincent van Gogh - Portraits

in #art7 years ago

Hello my artful souls,

This is my contribution to @sistersartlab 's Van Gogh Challenge


I'm not really happy with the outcome as I realised that I subconsciously 'corrected' the man's features.
So it doesn't really look like Van Gogh' s portrait as he exaggerated the face a lot. But you only see that when you try to copy his work. Still I upload my painting to show that your expectations can't always be achieved.


I used Derwent Inktense pencils and show both the dry and the wetted version.

Until next time

Stay creative!

artfully Yours, Geena

Have you tried flipping it upside down? :P
In all seriousness, this is really good! Yeah, it doesn't look exactly like his, but that's what makes it yours!

Oh yeah, I know that trick, would have been a good idea for this one probably! Thanks :)

You're welcome!
