My painting of Green Wheat Field with Cypress by Vincent van Gogh

In this assignment I had to draw a painting. It had to chose a painting made by Vincent van Gogh. It had to be a painting he drew in the impressionism style. Moreover, it had to be one of his paintings which wasn't very famous. I've chose the painting Green Wheat Field with Cypress, because I liked the colours and the landscape. (There's more informations about this painting and about why I've chosen this painting in my report of Green Wheat Field with Cypress by Vincent van Gogh on this blog!)

After I'd chosen a painting, I could start. First of all, I made a quick sketch. I drew the shapes of the cypress, the little houses and the scrubbery. Due to this, I knew the location of the objects in the painting. After this I could already start painting.

First of all, I painted the sky and the clouds. Second of all, I painted the cypress and the scrubbery in front of the sky. After this, I painted the wheat field. At last, I painted the scrubbery in front of the wheat field.

The colours of paint which I used for this painting were yellow, red, blue (light and dark), white, black and brown. For the other colours I had to mix. So, to get green I had to mix yellow and blue. In this way, I could make a lot of different kinds of green.

Then was the result:
