Van Gogh suffered from psychotic episodes and delusions. Though he worried about his mental stability, he often neglected his physical health, did not eat properly and drank heavily. His friendship with Gauguin ended after a confrontation with a razor when, in a rage, he severed part of his own left ear. He spent time in psychiatric hospitals, including a period at Saint-Rémy. After he discharged himself and moved to the Auberge Ravoux in Auvers-sur-Oise near Paris, he came under the care of the homeopathic doctor Paul Gachet. His depression persisted, and on 27 July 1890, Van Gogh is believed to have shot himself in the chest with a revolver, dying from his injuries two days later. Blue Ridge is a fairly young brand of oil paint, milled by independent paint maker Eric Silver in North Carolina. It’s been causing quite the stir amongst artists recently, who have been wanting to spread the word about the excellent quality and value paint.

[130] He wanted a gallery to display his work and started a series of paintings that eventually included Van Gogh's Chair (1888), Bedroom in Arles (1888), The Night Café (1888), Café Terrace at Night (September 1888), Starry Night Over the Rhone (1888), and Still Life: Vase with Twelve Sunflowers (1888), all intended for the decoration for the Yellow House.

Daniel Smith developed a range of oils using semi-precious minerals as the pigments to achieve some pretty fascinating results. He uses some historical pigments such as Genuine Lapis Lazuli. He also uses some more novel ones like genuine turquoise from the Sleeping Beauty mountain range in Arizona. This is a beautiful pigment when mixed with lighter colours to achieve pastel blues and greens.

Van Gogh's fame reached its first peak in Austria and Germany before World War I, [296] helped by the publication of his letters in three volumes in 1914. [297] His letters are expressive and literate, and have been described as among the foremost 19th-century writings of their kind. [9] These began a compelling mythology of Van Gogh as an intense and dedicated painter who suffered for his art and died young. [298] In 1934, the novelist Irving Stone wrote a biographical novel of Van Gogh's life titled Lust for Life, based on Van Gogh's letters to Theo. [299] This novel and the 1956 film further enhanced his fame, especially in the United States where Stone surmised only a few hundred people had heard of Van Gogh prior to his surprise best-selling book.

[187] Each paint manufacturer has their own special formula which makes their paint unique. The very basic recipe for paint is oil (the binder) + pigment. The pronunciation of Van Gogh varies in both English and Dutch. Especially in British English it is / ˌ v æ n ˈ ɡ ɒ x/ [2] or sometimes / ˌ v æ n ˈ ɡ ɒ f/ VAN GOF. [3] American dictionaries list / ˌ v æ n ˈ ɡ oʊ/ ⓘ VAN GOH, with a silent gh, as the most common pronunciation. [4] In the dialect of Holland, it is [ˈvɪnsɛnt fɑŋˈ xɔx] ⓘ, with a voiceless v and g. He grew up in Brabant and used Brabant dialect in his writing; his own pronunciation was thus likely [vɑɲ ˈʝɔç], with a voiced v and palatalised g and gh. In France, where much of his work was produced, it is [vɑ̃ ɡɔɡ(ə)]. [5] Pebeo’s palette includes modern and traditional colours. However, the colour range is relatively small compared to other brands, with only 64 colours.
