Description
For folks who followed me recentlyBlind arts : Memory painting via painting in total darkness
What a good way to celebrate 200th Day on DA , let me pay my respects and tribute to one of the world's finest artist . Vincent Van Gogh ... If you do not know who he is : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_… .
Let me just say that I was eating some sweets one day and after unwrapping the wrapper , my finger tips felt the smooth , curvy and bendy nature of the wrapper. It almost feels like a synthetic brush to me so ... why not just try it out as a painting too and see if it works . This is definitely not my first attempt , I tried to paint a couple of things and failing on the way , so do i give up ? Not a chance !
After trying to play around with wrappers for a good 2 weeks or so , I am roughly getting the gist of it and hence started to paint complete paintings and then finally , attempting at this master piece , the starry night . Yes its not 100% exactly as the original one as you know .. its blind arts . I hope you guys like this painting as much as I do . There are some colors and strokes which I changed according to my preference ,lets just say that this is my version of starry night ..
Thank you sweet wrapper , I have a new found respect for you .

i dont know what to say about that but trust me , the techinque that van gogh used is not easy at all . I mean to a untrained eye , its more like splatters of paints everywhere ...

That's what the furniture painter said. Anytime you put more than one color in an area the painting job get's ten times harder. Naturally the ones that claimed it looked easy won't put there money where there mouth is. Shame, it might be more hilarious than this justsomething.co/the-34-most-h…

Did you know that this Polish animation studio is making a Vincent Van Gogh biography animated film using his painting style? Every single frame of animation is a traditional oil painting... www.kickstarter.com/projects/4…

Gee whiz! I'm not sure I could do this with my eyes open, the lights on, and the original right next to me! This is a really good rendition of Van Gogh's work - and to think you did it from memory and without looking is simply astounding!
*bows to greatness*
