How to Paint Like an Expressionist

  1st, go with your instinct, not your intellect.

  2nd, start by letting the subject matter of the painting determine the colors you select.
  3rd, limit the number of colors you use to five -a light, medium, dark, and two tones in between.
  4th, paint with them according to tone not hue.
  5th, use the color straight from the tube, unmixed.
Finally, don't second guess yourself until you've done quite a bit of painting, then step back and look at the result.




What must a painter have ?

  "1. Every artist, as creator, must learn to express what is personally characteristic. (The element of personality.)

"2. Every artist, as a child of his era, must express what is characteristic of this age. (The element of style in its interior value, consisting of the language of the times and the language of the people.)

"3. Every artist, as servant of the art, must express that which is characteristic of art generally. (The element of pure and eternal art, found among all human beings, among all peoples and at all times, and which appears in the work of all artists of all nations and in all ages and which does not obey, as essential element of art, any law of space or time.)"

Vincent van Gogh
