Van Gogh's Theory of Color: How to Create Palettes Full of Emotion
Discover how Vincent van Gogh used color to convey emotion, contrast, and visual energy, and learn how to apply his principles to your own creative projects. Van Gogh is one of the most recognizable artists in the entire history of art—and not just because of his distinctive, energetic brushstrokes. His colors make an impact that goes far beyond simply representing what was in front of him. In his work, color is rarely limited to simply copying the world as it is. Often, it expresses tension, calm, or an inner energy that the landscape itself never actually possessed: color becomes emotion laid upon the canvas.
