Vincent Van Gogh
was born in Netherlands in 1853
Although he enjoyed drawing at an early age, he began painting when he was 27 years old.
The painting Sun Flowers is very famous. The colours are
vibrant and bright.
and if you look closely, each of the bright yellows is
painted differently.
Van Gogh would sometimes apply the paiint directly onto the canvas from the tubes and it wold take weeks for his paintings to dry because the
paint was so thick.
