06. Plaster Statuette of a Horse 2017 by Anthony D. Padgett (after Van Gogh Paris 1886) Painting

1 of 67 paintings in Anthony D Padgett's "A Year With Vincent" book available on Amazon. www.ayearwithvincent.co.uk 6. Vincent painted statuettes to help with his skills. Here I use a statuette in my lounge to develop my broad brush work. Vincent had practiced painting figures under his cousin Mauve (a well know artist in the Hague). In Paris he also painted a study of a horse. My horse painting is also an example of complimentary colours, of red, greens, blues and yellows. This was a vibrant technique of the Impressionists that Vincent experimented with in Paris. It is where the opposite colour is painted as an under-layer and then the actual colour is painted on top, e.g. if the scene is green then paint it red before painting over it in green. Instead of waiting for the under layer to dry I would paint wet on wet, tricky to do to avoid the colours mixing.
