Title of Artwork: Starry Night Recreation
Art Description: This painting is a recreation of Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh. I was instructed to recreate this famous painting in a different media, so I chose watercolour paint. I wanted to create the small brushstroke flowing movement in my recreation as well so I thought watercolour paint could be fun to use for this and a challenge for myself. This was my second attempt at this painting. This time I reminded myself to be patient and do thin layers of colours and build up. Of course, wait for it to dry so that the layers don’t blend into each other. I used pencil crayons for some enhancements on the stars and moon. I also used a white gel pen to emphasize the movement into the stars and moon. Although, this rendition seems more brighter, like either the bright varying colours in the town or the sky. This painting has its own charm as it is a recreation and the story and reputation of Starry Night and Van Gogh, makes it even more special.
