Quotes by Vincent Van Gogh:
A good picture is equivalent to the good deed.
Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination, do not become the slave of your model.
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
Great things are done by many small things brought together.
I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.
There is no blue without yellow and without orange.
I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people.
I often think that the night is more alive and more richly coloured than the day.
I see drawings and pictures in the poorest of huts and the dirtiest of corners.
Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the soul of the painter.

Painting Styles of Vincent van Gogh:
The painting style of Van Gogh can be said to be unique, changing and adaptive.
If we look at his paintings from start to finish, its like reading his biography.
Vincent painted what was happening around him every day.
He painted himself, other people, places he lived, ate and visited.
Van Gogh did not have much schooling in art, he mostly just taught himself, learning as he went.
Vincent prefered to use machine produced linen that was very fine with a ground that would absorb oil.
He probably sometimes worked with a gridded perspective frame.
Van Gogh painted fast with a kind of urgency to his work.
He painted straight from the tube.
He often used impasto brush strokes.
Vincent often restricted the use of colours in his paintings.
