Something you were not aware of, something that turns out to be really special. Something totally unexpected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eBack in February I saw a trailer for a movie called \u003ci\u003eLoving Vincent\u003c\/i\u003e, a remarkable film about Vincent Van Gogh’s life and death. It’s special because it’s animated using actual paintings in Van Gogh’s style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eI was enamored with the movie and could not wait till it came out … after all, I love Van Gogh, and I love the idea of the first ever fully hand-painted feature-length movie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eAnd it was not just painted by animators or with animation tools: \u003cu\u003eEach frame is an oil painting done by an artist\u003c\/u\u003e. There were over 100 artists brought into Poland to do the 65,000 paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eSoon after seeing the trailer for \u003ci\u003eLoving Vincent\u003c\/i\u003e, I saw Dena Peterson, one of the artists who worked on the movie, speak at the Plein Air Convention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eDena was not only a great communicator, she had the audience really engaged. It’s such a unique story. She showed the process of animating with paintings, something that had never been done this way before. Each “cell” was a full oil painting; that’s why the film took years to produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eThen she started showing paintings…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWere these lost Van Goghs?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eNope. Dena painted them for the movie. But they sure had the Van Gogh feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eAfter her standing ovation, there was a crowd of people gathered around her asking questions. She was like a rock star with her groupies. Though that happens with many PACE speakers, this was even more than usual!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eCan you guess the number one question everyone had?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eSure you can. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003e“How did you learn to paint like Van Gogh?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eDena was careful to say that Van Gogh had his own style, and though the \u003ci\u003eLoving Vincent\u003c\/i\u003e artists learned to emulate it, no one could ever be Van Gogh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eBut she learned lots of tricks…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eLike how Van Gogh managed to keep his colors so bright and unpolluted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eOr how Van Gogh managed to paint so thickly without the colors becoming muddy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eShe tried to answer all their questions, but finally said, “I’d have to show you. It took us a long time to figure him out. People have tried before, but once we got it down, we shared it among all the artists in doing the movie, and magic happened.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eWhat she said next, though, was unexpected…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003e“I never painted like Van Gogh. I have my own style, and it’s completely different. But as a result of doing 600 paintings in his style, I made some important discoveries that made my own work stronger.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt that moment, it came to me: We needed to do a video with Dena. So I picked up the phone, called the boss lady, and said, “I think we need to do something with this woman, and here’s why.” I got a thumbs up, and we approached her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eBefore long, Dena appeared at the Liliedahl studios and started filming our latest video, \u003ci\u003eLoving Van Gogh: How to Paint Like Vincent Van Gogh\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003eThough I get excited about all the videos we produce, this one was so different, so unique, that I couldn’t wait to see her show Van Gogh’s techniques … all the things she had discovered working on the movie \u003ci\u003eLoving Vincent\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-top: 12.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo in Dena’ art instruction video \u003cem\u003eLoving Van Gogh: How to Paint Like Vincent Van Gogh\u003c\/em\u003e, you’ll discover…\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Van Gogh taught her about composition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat she learned about Van Gogh’s technique from studying his letters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to keep thick paint moving without making it runny or hard to manage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Van Gogh used reed pen drawings to plan the brushwork and movement in his paintings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect painting and broken brushwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to use line to emphasize pattern and shapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome history of Van Gogh and his path to becoming the father of Expressionism and modern art\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to get out of a rut in your work through more expressionistic painting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVan Gogh’s philosophy of painting, as well as her own\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Van Gogh became a “third-level painter” and what that means\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to use complementary colors and “simultaneous contrast” to add visual excitement, as Van Gogh learned to do from the Impressionists and Pointillists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe difference between local tone paintings and light and shadow paintings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to use directional brushwork to show form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to use more paint and less medium to create impasto brushwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to let go of the need to copy a scene and instead respond to it emotionally\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe palette of colors used to create color harmony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlus one important thing she learned that impacted her work, and her soul as an artist, after emulating Van Gogh for several months.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only will you see Dena Peterson’s interpretation of Van Gogh and what she learned from him, including the process of making a Van Gogh-like painting from start to finish … you’ll also receive:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVideo of the presentation she did on stage at the Plein Air Convention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn interview with Dena Peterson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA show of Dena’s work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlus some of the paintings she did for the movie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003ePortraits Van Gogh Style\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"500\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zmBNAT0PBOI\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"video-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere’s just a bit of what Dena Peterson has for you:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet more creative (but without over-the-top risk!)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt just takes this ONE thing to generate more excitement in your paintings\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoosen up!
