The Potato Eaters Study replica in oil on canvas

Van Gogh Studio is located in Amsterdam, near the Van Gogh museum where we can study the original works. Our paintings are all painted in oil on canvas by mainly Dutch artists who have studied Van Gogh's technique, including brushstrokes, color mixing, atmosphere and the rhythm of painting.

A Trip For Inspiration

When working on his paintings, Van Gogh eventually moved to Nuenen in search for new techniques and styles to learn. Here, he learned to paint peasants going about their daily lives—these paintings mainly consisted of dark tones and earthy colours.

When he asked his brother Theo why his paintings weren’t selling, the latter complained that Van Gogh’s style was too dark. He explained that, to sell, his paintings needed to have rich colour, something Van Gogh was unaccustomed to at the time.

However, he continued with his style until he moved to Antwerp and learned how to work with brighter colours.

A Tale Of Emergence

It was during his time in Nuenen that Van Gogh finally started out on his path to becoming a renowned artist. He met several other artists who helped him create his own style, through learning and adaptation.

The dark tones that were a part of his paintings, such as The Potato Eaters, signified the struggle that he went through at the time, without having enough money to both feed himself and continue painting.
 

Due to this, he regularly worked with anyone who would sit for paintings for him, as a way to earn extra money for his work. The Potato Eaters series were an especially important work, since at that time, it showed the struggles of the common man and how they struggled to even make enough money to eat.

This was something that Van Gogh shared with them, and he captured it on canvas.
