Drawing Media:

* Pencil: He employed pencil for preliminary drawings and then combined it with ink. He often worked with a carpenter's pencil. He liked to press hard and often worked on wet paper. * Pen and ink: Van Gogh had a remarkable gift for pen drawing and graphic technique. * ** Most of Van Gogh's pen and ink and brush drawings are executed first in pencil first. He then inks/bruhes over the pencil marks once he is happy with them. ** some of his pen and ink drawings are drawn without any preliminary use of pencil ** During his visit to Arles in 1888, Van Gogh discovered the reed pen (made from local hollow-barreled grass, sharpened with a penknife). It changed his drawing style. He created some extraordinary drawings of the Provençal landscape, including a series of drawings of and from Montmajour (east of Arles) , in reed pen and aniline ink on laid paper. The ink has now faded to a dull brown. ** Research at the Van Gogh Museum is onducting research into pigments and drawing inks in use in the period 1888-1890 and comparing this to the inks Van Gogh used * Prints: He studied prints from periodicals and wanted to make graphic art which would be affordable to the lower classes. * Print materials: He experimented with using a lithographic crayon - drawing over pencil and then removing it to get lighter effects. He sometimes also used printing ink in his drawings. * Use of brush and colour: At Saint-Rémy and Auvers-sur-Oise, he experimented with rhythm and colour - often exploring further the impact of the use of complementary colours such as orange and blue.. For colour he used gouache, thinned oils and coloured inks (some of which have now turned brown) with a brush.
