Description

What materials did Vincent van Gogh use? How do we know that other works of art are sometimes hidden beneath his paintings? And how exactly is a painting put together? Vincent van Gogh is famous all over the world for his colourful artistic style. You’ve probably seen one or two of his paintings before. Maybe his Sunflowers, for example, or The yellow house. But Vincent was not a naturally talented artist. He had to learn the art of drawing and painting – and it wasn’t always easy! In this book, Ceciel de Bie shows you how Van Gogh worked. The book contains plenty of examples, illustrations and fun activities to help you get straight down to work yourself. It’s just like looking over the artist’s shoulder!

Ceciel de Bie is an acclaimed children’s author who has written many books about artists.
