Self Portrait with Grey felt Hat replica in oil on canvas
Van Gogh Studio is located in Amsterdam, near the Van Gogh museum where we can study the original works. Our paintings are all painted in oil on canvas by mainly Dutch artists who have studied Van Gogh's technique, including brushstrokes, color mixing, atmosphere and the rhythm of painting.
Van Gogh Inspired by Pointillism
This portrait was painted in
Paris where he lived with his brother Theo at the time. It is clear Van Gogh had studied pointillism and was finding his own unique way of expressing it. In the background he applied short strips of paint next to each other in different directions, the result is a circular halo-like configuration following the shape of the head.
Complimentary Colours
Van Gogh is known for his experimental use of colour. He was an artist that revolutionized what colour could do in a painting and how it could affect the viewer. One of the ways he would use colours is by using two complementary colours side by side to intensify parts of the painting.
This portrait is a good example, using long brush strokes he placed
blue and
orange together in the clothing and background, and
red and
green in the beard and eyes. The result is a mesmerizing portrait that holds the attention with its pure energy.
