Van Gogh - style art pictures!

Van Gogh used a lot of tiny dash lines in many of his paintings.  So using this technique, I made some Van Gogh-style pictures.

First, a sketch --


Then with markers, lots of little dash lines; some of them go in twirly patterns, and some are in straight lines.


Next, color crayon is added -- to put in some more color flecks and shading.


Here is another set using felt pen first, then crayon added in:



This is a pretty easy technique, and the pictures turned out so nice; kids could easily use this method to make some beautiful impressionist-style artwork!
