A couple of the images in the book I’m illustrating have some Van Gogh paintings in them. So I had to try to copy the master of oil paint without oil paints. It’s not perfect (of course) but I think it will look like there’s a copy of the original hanging on the wall!
The spray fixative really intensified the color, so I toned it down in Photoshop after I scanned it.
