Vincent Van Gogh: 120 Drawings and Watercolors Details
Vincent van Gogh drew thousands of images to better his style. He believed that drawing was “the root of everything” and completed over 1,000 drawings from 1877 to 1890. His drawings were mainly done in pencil, black chalk, red chalk, blue chalk, reed pen and charcoal on a variety of paper types these included Ingres paper, laid paper, wove paper. At the outset of his career, he felt it necessary to master black and white before attempting to work in color. Thus, drawings formed an inextricable part of his development as a painter. There were periods when he wished to do nothing but draw. Although his paintings are much more popular than his drawings, Van Gogh is considered a master of drawing. Similar to his drawings, Van Gogh often did watercolors as studies before doing an oil painting or as practice. As he continued to refine his technique, he used more and brighter colors in his watercolors. He produced nearly 150 watercolor paintings during his life.

Reviews
If you expect to see watercolors in a wonderful and unique style and mind bending color you will be extremely disappointed as the only color image is on the cover . All the watercolors within are in glorious black and white and even some of those are very small . A total ripoff !
