The Working Image:

The Church in Auvers-sur-Oise initially painted by Van Gough gridlines

A working image was created in Photoshop to use as a reference for the initial sketch. The canvas size is 18 inches wide by 24 inches high, and the blocks are 6 inches. I added lines to the white canvas using a brown pastel pencil. Please avoid using ink or charcoal and only draw the lines on the canvas.

Material List

Materials List for the Van Gogh Live Reproduction

The canvas has been coated with gesso, rotated horizontally and vertically, and sanded lightly between each coat. As a result, I painted the canvas two times to keep a semi-rough working surface supporting this impressionist-style reproduction.

Sketching With Paint:

Gamblin Gamsol is a solvent artists use to clean their brushes and thin down brown paint for the initial sketch on canvas. Remember not to use Gamsol or any other cleaning solvent for anything other than sketching. For example, George Werbacher uses brown paint thinned with Gamsol when needed for the initial oil painting sketch. In addition, George uses linseed oil only when prepping oil paints for use in all his reproductions and originals.
