Van Gogh Self-Portrait Colored Pencils from The Met Museum
$23
Featuring one of art history’s most famous figures, this set of Faber-Castell color pencils is sure to inspire. Influenced by Neo-Impressionist technique and color theory after moving to Paris in 1886, Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853-1890) adopted a lighter color palette and broken brushstrokes as he developed his signature style. Self-Portrait with a Straw Hat is one of more than 20 self-portraits the artist completed during a period when he was determined to perfect his skills as a figure painter yet lacked the resources to hire models.
