Following the Pink Petals 

Auvers sur Oise. 

I spent one day there back in June 2019. I haven't been able to get it out of my mind since.

Van Gogh. 
Cezanne.
Daubigny.

Some of the artists who walked the streets of Auvers.

I've been wanting to make an entire journal dedicated to my time there for months now. 

This is that journal.

Above are some of my reference photos. I put those pieces together to create this page.

Supplies used:

100 lb Accent Opaque size 23 x 35" opened (this is the journal I made that I'm working in)

Acrylics: Holbein, Sennelier, Utrecht and Golden

Water based paint markers: Holbein (acrylic inks), Sharpie, Molotow, Posca

Stabilo All in One water soluble pencils in black, blue and brown

.35 Rapidosketch pen with black India ink

Palette knife 

Brushes

Read (and listened to) various editions of the letters of Vincent Van Gogh

Absolutely gorgeous interpretation of your reference photos. I love the way you visualize things. This double spread takes my breath away. Can't wait to see more of this journal.
