I’ve always admired Van Gogh but I rarely try to replicate his painting style. I’m personally more comfortable with more realistic depictions but I love the movement and atmosphere that his pieces create. One issue I had with this painting was being patient and letting the paint dry. I accidently picked up the paper when the red wasn’t completely dry so it ran a bit. I tried to cover it up but the paint was not opaque enough. This painting was fun to do but not very easy to get the desired colors. I tried to only use primary color and let them mix with the dots. In the end, I like the way it came out. Unfortunately, my scanner broke and my camera was dead so I couldn’t get very good copies of these two pieces online. Hopefully I can get some batteries soon or fix my scanner so the next set will look better.

I really appreciate the way you were able to correctly execute the van Gough style, it’s definitely apparent what you were going for. I like the colors you used on your pointilism piece but I feel like it’s very one dimensional , it doesn’t stand out I think maybe If there was a little less red coverage? But I like it, good job!
