    Michael's carries these Artists' Loft Paint-by-numbers kits of a bunch of Van Gogh paintings. I've done 4 out of 5 I think, making a little collection. It's perfect because it gives you the feeling of painting but with zero brain power lol

    Try looking through gardening catalogs for new flower varieties. As a gardener, I find tons of inspiration that way. Also, now that we are getting into spring, take a field trip to a botanical garden, or a florist shop.

    Sunflowers and Daisy are my favorite flowers. I call them happy flowers. Love the video Emma.

    I just finished listening to the audiobook “Vincent and Theo.” Sunflowers were Van Gogh’s favorite flower. Thank you for sharing your watercolor process.

    Lovely, I might try this with one of his wobbly landscapes!
    Neocolor II are my favorite media for studies because they make a very convincing "oil paint" texture, but are completely mess-free. Just did a series of tiny moody Monet studies a few weeks ago with them, and I had a blast.
    I'm in a similar funk right now, and I hope we'll both be over it soon 🌹

    This was so cool! I’m a Van Gogh fan & would love to see you do something similar with his still life of white roses in green vase & green background; as well as his iris still life in white jug on green table/surface… 💚🤍💜

    Thanks Emma! I do love being inspired to do a copy of famous artists work. You can learn so much doing this. I do love Van Gogh. And Monet. And the thing I love about them was they did the same thing over and over and over again. We always think that we have to look for something new when we could just concentrate on one thing and see it in a different way each time we painted. Thank you for always inspiring us.

    What impressed me the most about this video is how your mood completely changed Emma. You started a bit on the gloomy side but at the end you were ready to take another one on. Good for you Emma, the crayons seem to do it for you!!.❤

    I did it years ago when I was teaching my kindergarten Art class in French and I used flowers catalogs where my class would cut out their flowers and we watercolored the background and the vase a la Van Gogh

    Oh wow I am really enjoying how your version of Van Gogh’s 12 Sunflowers 🌻 looks, especially with the watercolor crayons textured background. You have managed to get some wonderful textures & the colors of the sunflowers very much like his. I am definitely inspired by both your version & his painting to give this a try. Thanks for sharing this wonderful fun video! Hope you’re are over your art block soon 💕🥰🌻🌻🎨

    @amandahodgin9316 Рік тому

    This is so lovely! I have an idea……use your gouache and paint something using Maude Lewis’ work for inspiration. Not long ago, I saw another artist on UA-cam use Lisa Solomon’s Colour Meditation Deck prompts to create an interesting abstract creation….another idea. Oooooooh….use some of your old practice works to create a collage or something…..we all have loads of practice stuff kicking around that we don’t really like, but can’t seem to part with….show us how to chop them up!

  • @wendykleeb2071
    @wendykleeb2071 Рік тому +1

    I also use Van Gogh for inspiration.

  • @christinegentes9096
    @christinegentes9096 Рік тому

    I'm a huge Van Gogh fan and this was fun to do. Maybe next one should be Money or Renoir. They might ;end themselves to watercolor because their art is blurrier and not so detailed.
