van Gogh's Still Life

Description

Study of van Gogh's Still Life with Yellow Straw Hat in acrylics (20 x 30 cm / 7.9 x 11.8 in).

This was actually my first excursion to the world of acrylic medium. It was very different (technique-wise) from what I'm used to in watercolor painting. The main problem was quick drying time with little time left for blending and soft edges. The painting was done using a photo reference of the original painting by van Gogh. I'm not sure if my palette is reasonably correct given the fact that every photo of the original has different colors.

Anyway... I hope you enjoy the picture.
