Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Van Gogh, Cottage Garden, reed pen,
quill, and ink over graphite on wove paper, 1888
In the picture
above, van Gogh captures the different textures of the scenery by using many
different types of media in one picture. He uses hatching to show the texture
of the fence panels, and stippling in the bottom right to give the impression
of a small stream or possible an overgrown path. His use of stippling in the
sky makes it appear as though it is overcast, or possibly that the sun is
setting. I like how van Gogh has used the unpredictable nature of ink and
graphite to make the garden appear wild and out of control.
