Vincent van Gogh

1853–1890 · Post-Impressionism

Van Gogh loaded his brush with thick paint and let his strokes SHOW — curling, swirling, full of motion. He sold almost nothing while he lived, and painted The Starry Night looking out of an asylum window. Today it might be the most loved painting on Earth.

Your strokes now ride an invisible wind: dabs bend and swirl the way Vincent's did, thick with paint. Don't fight the flow — steer it. Skies, fields and water love this brush.
