Van Gogh in Acrylics (Ready to Paint) || Michael Sanders

This is the second in the Ready to Paint The Masters series that offers you the chance to emulate the greats in a medium that wasn’t available to them. I have to admit that I’m stumped as to why you would want to and there’s no help in the introduction here. Michael is right when he says that copying other work is/was the traditional way to learn and it’s certainly a handy way of measuring your progress, but I’m not sure how much satisfaction it will give you unless you’re a fan of rote learning and prepared for quite a lot of hard slog before you get to express your own creativity.

However, if your boat needs floating and you think a few Van Goghs will get it off the slipway, this is the book for you.
