In his sunflower paintings, Van Gogh limited his palette to golds, mustards, and contrasting blues, and he tended to compose the images within tight framing in order to focus the eye. The thick swirls form a backdrop for the slightly scruffy, withered petals of his flowers, outlined in prominent black lines.

We just finished out Starry night ones....so nope, not Sunflowers here either. Would work great in collage that one though.

It works well with pastels and yes we have done it as our classes are all named after painters and I work in Van Gogh!

I haven't but others at school have.A child chose to do one in pastels when I let them have free choice last week.We used the pastels to make marks and blend and then let them have the freedom to chose and a child from another class returned a Van Gogh book.The child made a good copy in pale pastels......very pretty.
