Oddly Satisfying: Makeup Inspired by Vincent van Gogh

Get to know Vincent van Gogh before you “makeup” your mind about his art. Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch painter who worked diligently to perfect his craft. Over his decade-long career, Vincent van Gogh created with astonishing intensity and originality. He created more than 35 self-portraits in just over 3 months, meaning he produced almost one a month. He painted his 1889 Self-Portrait in one sitting and felt the work captured his “true character.” Create your own Van Gogh self-portrait with our new painting game "Paint 'n' Play."
