I love how he got so scared when he started "drawing" with the black paint haha. Black is such a terrifying color to work with sometimes, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
The vibrations you continually refer to are the result of Van Gogh placing contrasting pieces of paint next to each other and is arguably the essence of his genius.
Just so you know, the fabric for potato and flour sacks in the 1880's was a little more refined than what we think of as burlap today. There are suppliers who sell a very very close if not exact copy, but you'll need to stretch them yourself. I must say, your tutorial was quite good.
The best thing is the transition once u get into this freelines and style and can mix the colours in what way whatever you want. Thats what i like about him ;-)
I really like the painting but I feel like Van Gogh had a distinctive brush stroke. It does look similar to Van Gogh but even in the faces he had some sort of swirly brushstroke. He was a strange person.
Thanks for making this video. I was recently commissioned to paint a copy of "Cafe Terrace at Night," so this video is giving me quite a bit of insight into how Van Gogh might have painted.
Very well done man. You are inspiring me to get back into oil painting. Watching you work, I'm getting that 'itch' again to get some oils and paint again. Thankyou!
Bravo !!! ... to film your first try at this - Very Nice !!! ... Van Gogh, Always with intense emotions - Just doing it from your soul ... Thank You So Much !!!
Thank you so much for that inspirational video! That lesson made me want to buy some supplies and paint again! The pronunciation is irrelevant compared to the visual! Fabulous, thanks again! ☆
lol at some of the comments posted. Sheesh go get your refunds. oh wait, it's free to view. I, for, one, was able to pick up some valuable pointers. I appreciate your video. Thanks.
sometimes i think the impasto technique was used to hurry things up a little bit. I know its not the only reason but come on, mixing paint directly on the canvas is the fastest way to get an insane amount of paint to the canvas. It takes too many strokes to build it up slowly.
I truly enjoyed your video---awesome work !~ Van Gogh was NOT a Fauvist, however; he inspired the development of the Fauvist movement with his use of bright and pure color. I've never seen him referred to as a Fauvist, but a Post-Impressionist, which is the school Van Gogh painted in. In his early years he knocked back color with darks but as time went by he did much less of that, opting for brilliant color, which is what mesmerized Matisse. Henri Matisse was the founder of Fauvism and did so after being inspired by Van Gogh's work as well as a few others. If you're going to invoke the Great Masters, please do get the Art History correct. Not trying to be a snot, just feel a gift of his magnitude deserves to have his story referred to factually. He inspired that movement; he was not a Fauvist but a Post-Impressionist. Here's a respected link for you to research for yourself: www.britannica.com/art/Fauvism P.S.---your followers who'd like to have more texture in their 'squiggly lines' can use Impasto Gel with impressive results. Best Regards to you and wishing you much success~
+Matt Brueggen Yeah, I just use 3 colors and white. I've added a few more over the years, but basically it's just cad yellow, cad red, pthalo blue and white.
Did you let the background color dry first? I watched this tutorial and bought oil paints (only prior work was in acrylics) painted my canvas a 'burlap' color and attempted to 'draw' my lines with paint as you did and only managed to muddle the colors. Thanks in advance, beautiful work.
I wish I could paint, but watching and listening to you is more enjoyable. I'm mesmerized. It's like painters are a kind of different breed, something not in my DNA.
I'm questioning why you put a brown base to the painting.You say that van Gogh painted on burlap which can be a dark brown color, yes .But wouldn't he have covered that fabric with white gesso? I suspect he did ! If so, he painted on a white surface unless he added color to his gesso. Your purple is muddy because you're using Cadmium red, which contains yellow. A bluish red like alizarin crimson mixed with your ultramarine blue (which contains red ) would make a fine purple.
Gerald Greenblatt I have seen his art and he painted straight on to the brown/ocre burlap. gesso would have been to expensive for him and he would have mentioned it to theo at least once.
Gesso is applied to prevent the oils in the paint from coming in contact with the raw cloth because those oils will, in time, rot the material.If van Gogh painted directly on raw burlap 125 years ago, we would see that rotting process in evidence on his paintings. I found this information here: www.artistsandillustrators.co.uk/how-to/oil-painting/984/how-to-use-colour-like-van-gogh (“You’ll ask - please - père Tasset or père Lhote the lowest price for 10 metres of his primed or absorbent canvas,” van Gogh states in one of his letters to Theo. He liked to use finely woven linen on wooden stretchers, sized and then primed with Lead White, chalk and barium sulphate. The white ground was usually tinted using small amounts of pigment - Yellow Ochre, Carmine and a touch of Yellow gave a characteristic pink tint here. ) And this from Wikipedia: The Red Vineyards near Arles is an oil painting by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh, executed on a privately primed Toile de 30 piece of burlap in early November 1888. Finally from the Sotheby website referring to van Gogh's painting L'ALLÉE DES ALYSCAMPS: Van Gogh described the support on which he painted to be "burlap," but recent scholarship suggests that it is actually rough jute. He and Gauguin had purchased this material in bulk and primed themselves, and Van Gogh used it for the first time for this picture.
Early in his career Vincent simply liked drawing far more than painting. He thought black and white more expressive and "serious" than colour, plus paint materials were too expensive for someone who had so much trouble just feeding himself. Wasn't until the last few years of his life that he fully appreciated Impressionism.
Mihai Coltofean I've read LOTS of books including his letters. At time of commenting I was reading the bio by Stephen Naifeh and was paraphrasing that. So suck on that you condescending egotistical oik!
+Painting Course and +Jasleen Dhaliwal....THANK YOU!! I basically have to do a Van Gogh style portrait of myself for my artwork...which I am finding really difficult to do...So thank you xx
I'd get some burlap, and the passion he painted with. The end result is not close to Vincent. Nice, but too controlled and lacking the emotion. Fun to see someone try, but get back to us when you get a little looser in you technique.
One other thing. Sometimes he painted his other eye so that they eyelid would form a slit.....this has happened on at least one occasion. My apologies if this comment is awkard......
Hey, found yr vids today. Love how you teach. Considering giving support yet I don't find your actual name in vids or comments . lmk thnks ( need to be careful these days)
Man, this painter has a right to be pronounced correctly. English speakers could try it by saying "Fun Chochh" (with "ch" as it is used in "Bach" for example)!
I think you did not get anything Vang G used to paint so often from one site to antoher how he could with small paintlines... its like a wind blows above the picture
+andresawz Van Gogh preferred to live in the dregs and eat potatoes. They were probably rotten half the time causing him to be drunk often. His brother would supply him when Van Gogh was sober enough to take it. There's a million ways to make potatoes, I'm so sick of it.
First I tried cutting my ear off. Didn't work.
Then I watched your video. Much better!
I love how he got so scared when he started "drawing" with the black paint haha. Black is such a terrifying color to work with sometimes, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Quite a lot of strong feeling. I think Vincent may be pleased that so many still appreciate his work.
Looking at people painting is so satisfying
The vibrations you continually refer to are the result of Van Gogh placing contrasting pieces of paint next to each other and is arguably the essence of his genius.
The green shadow/underpainting really brought out the Van Gogh-iness. Super nice dude!
I'm not a painter, artist but a person who enjoys the painter constructing the art, you are very good and I will come back for more....

Wow this is incredible! How could anyone not love this tutorial? Great end result, looks amazing!
The best thing is the transition once u get into this freelines and style and can mix the colours in what way whatever you want. Thats what i like about him ;-)
Excellent demo and really appreciate how you have the camera close to the canvas. Yes would enjoy watching your version of how others paint!
I really like the painting but I feel like Van Gogh had a distinctive brush stroke. It does look similar to Van Gogh but even in the faces he had some sort of swirly brushstroke. He was a strange person.
Awesome, you are very skilled my friend!
Thanks for making this video. I was recently commissioned to paint a copy of "Cafe Terrace at Night," so this video is giving me quite a bit of insight into how Van Gogh might have painted.
Thank you. I've been trying this forever. Needed the right perspective.
Very well done man. You are inspiring me to get back into oil painting. Watching you work, I'm getting that 'itch' again to get some oils and paint again. Thankyou!
Bravo !!! ... to film your first try at this - Very Nice !!! ... Van Gogh, Always with intense emotions - Just doing it from your soul ... Thank You So Much !!!
I really enjoyed your walk through on this and tried it myself with satisfactory results. Canvas is much better than board for this style.
Quite nice. Relaxing to watch.
enjoyable and an education, and very entertaining. This took courage !
It would be interesting to see Van Gogh reaction to this technique and final work, I wonder what he would say?
Thank you so much for that inspirational video! That lesson made me want to buy some supplies and paint again! The pronunciation is irrelevant compared to the visual! Fabulous, thanks again! ☆
I LIKE IT THANK YOU VERY MUCH ,YOU ARE A VERY GOOD TEACHER
This is so inspiring.. thank you!
Best video on how to paint like Van Gogh
Really great! I enjoyed your teaching. I want to try a Van Gogh portrait myself now.
Very good teaching. Thank you.
lol at some of the comments posted. Sheesh go get your refunds. oh wait, it's free to view. I, for, one, was able to pick up some valuable pointers. I appreciate your video. Thanks.
Wow man! Congrats. This is really good. Thank you.
That was amazing! I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow, I want to learn how to paint as freely as that. Thanks for the video.
i would use more stand oil as a first coat and than no thinner and thicker clumps of paints, van gogh mixed with thicker chunks.
sometimes i think the impasto technique was used to hurry things up a little bit.
I know its not the only reason but come on, mixing paint directly on the canvas is the fastest way to get an insane amount of paint to the canvas.
It takes too many strokes to build it up slowly.
It looks great but the one thing I would suggest reworking is the mouth placement. Needs to come up a bit.
Lol, Van Gogh is Van Gogh coz he is Van Gogh..
Who the heck is Fauv. Nevermind, I loved what you taught me. Thanks!
Very impressive and helpful.
11:07 "So if you can't do this stage, well, you need to practice drawing more" LMFAO
Thanks for that! Really nicely done:-)
I will be trying this technique for my final in drawling 2. Thanks for the share
thanks for the lesson on him. kindest Regards
Its really nice
The signature green hue in his paintings is his nod to absinthe as he was an absinthe drinker.
brilliantly executed . . and very clear camera work , Keep it up
Thank you for the lesson! Naturally your work looks better than me in practice it turns out!)
Who cares how its pronounced. The tutorial was great.........thankyou
nah nobody gives a shit
Great job!
I had no idea Zach Galifianakis could paint!
this is really cool
u did very good
Nice video, but Vincent was a Post Impressionist. Fauvism came about in 1905. (15 years after Van Gogh's death.)
so cool

What´s the music at the background at 3:10?
Really good
ahaha smelly lines! awesome work thanks for the tips
How can I contact this teacher? email or whatever.
This is awesome work!! Thanks
What a good tutorial! Thanks :D
Very successful exercise as well as a nice portrait. And you know, "smelly lines."
I would say that is a pretty damn good imitation of Van Gogh's style! Very well done. Thanks for sharing this.
he would pefer to use a very fine linen canvas
very nice!
did he say he only uses 3 colors?
+Matt Brueggen Yeah, I just use 3 colors and white. I've added a few more over the years, but basically it's just cad yellow, cad red, pthalo blue and white.
Did you let the background color dry first? I watched this tutorial and bought oil paints (only prior work was in acrylics) painted my canvas a 'burlap' color and attempted to 'draw' my lines with paint as you did and only managed to muddle the colors. Thanks in advance, beautiful work.
How the hell do you use cad red as a primary? wouldn't it be two yellow and bright? wouldn't alizerin crimson work better?
beautiful!
What kind of paint are you using? and in what colours? :)
very interesting and informative
I wish I could paint, but watching and listening to you is more enjoyable. I'm mesmerized. It's like painters are a kind of different breed, something not in my DNA.
What kind of paint do you use
I believe he's using oil paints.

+Rex Mundi Everything you said is wrong, Read some books about his life or his letters to his brother, then talk.

I've read LOTS of books including his letters. At time of commenting I was reading the bio by Stephen Naifeh and was paraphrasing that. So suck on that you condescending egotistical oik!
what kind of paint is used in this painting!!!?????? anyone tell me...reply if you can +Painting Course
Oil paint because that was what Van Gogh used
+Anisha Chowdhury These are just cheap oil paints from Umton. Nothing special about them really :)
+Painting Course and +Jasleen Dhaliwal....THANK YOU!! I basically have to do a Van Gogh style portrait of myself for my artwork...which I am finding really difficult to do...So thank you xx

Is it oil painting or acrylic?
oil
Do the Dutch know how Van Gogh's surname should be pronounced? If yes, then it is Goff not Go.
Hey, found yr vids today. Love how you teach. Considering giving support yet I don't find your actual name in vids or comments . lmk thnks ( need to be careful these days)
Man, this painter has a right to be pronounced correctly. English speakers could try it by saying "Fun Chochh" (with "ch" as it is used in "Bach" for example)!
You know Bach is pronounced 'Baaaa' right?
Toby Eglesfield No, it's pronounced "BaCH".
phonetically: [ç/x], like a cat's hiss.
Supe cool dude !
Nice!
thank you!!!
loved! thaks!!
nice
really good! you're amazing! what kind of using program? I can't listen to your voice this video 5:33 seconds parts... i'm so~ need this program
4:14: Van Gough is Van Gough - love it.
Great work! :D
I think you did not get anything Vang G used to paint so often from one site to antoher how he could with small paintlines... its like a wind blows above the picture
Like Van Gogh..meaning?
I just subscrived to your channel!!!!!!!
Dope
nice man!
thanks nice vid
Good tutorial. Aesthetic set-up you got there. Informative points.
That almost sound like indirect shade at the viewer. "if you can't do this stage, well, you need to practice drawing more."
XD
Burlap? Hardly Vincent mostly painted on high quality linen and the best art supplies that were available...
he wasn't that rich, study his life, his brother supplied him,but he didn't always send him high quality canvases
+andresawz Van Gogh preferred to live in the dregs and eat potatoes. They were probably rotten half the time causing him to be drunk often. His brother would supply him when Van Gogh was sober enough to take it. There's a million ways to make potatoes, I'm so sick of it.
Meanwhile, I can't paint any portraits, I paint with acrylics and I suck so much :(
A rubbish attempt at replicating Van Gogh.
However, a brilliant exercise for you as a painter.
Why did you want to draw a Van Gogh?
Some people theorize that Van Gogh was colorblind.
