I went to see the Van Gogh exhibit at a local-ish museum a few weeks back and picked up a blank DIY vinyl Van Gogh figure produced by Today is Art Day.
He sat around for a bit while I thought about how to paint him and I finally got to work on him this week.
His face is inspired by his self portraits and his jacket is my (and countless others) favorite work of his “The Starry Night”.
Materials wise, I didn’t use anything fancy. Just lots of thin layers of craft acrylics.
A great homage to his style. Hard to believe he was blank!
It’s absolutely amazing!!!
Love the colors you chose and the face details!
How fun is that?
He has wooden shoes!!! How cool is that?
Ack!!! Love this so much!!! An inspired rendition of him.
Very fun project!!
It’s so cool! Now I want to have a Van Gogh figure 
Amazing paint job! I love the jacket and how you worked the Starry Night all the way around.
This is really cool, I like it a lot.
Could not be more perfect. Great job!
So awesome!
Very clever choices, and very well done.
Superb execution!
How lovely! He had such a great eye for color. 
Oh wow, that’s so cool!
Did you see Loving Vincent? It was soooo good. This looks like something that could go with the movie.
Wow! This is amazing! Also, love his clogs!
I love Vincent van Gogh! As a kid I didn’t but nowadays I really admire his work so much! It is great how you represented his style on this little figure. Sterrennacht (starry night) is one of my favourites too, but my favourite is Amandelbloesem (Almond blossom).
How awesome 
I love that you painted him in Van Gogh’s style Great that they sell blank ones, even though it’s a bummer for those who can’t paint. But I’m sure they also sell painted ones XD
