All you need to know to paint a Post Impressionist painting is how to use thick paint and color and how to create movement with brush strokes.

How to Paint a Post-Impressionistic Painting Step by Step

  1. Get a big piece of paper.
  2. Get any three colors of paint.
  3. Take a color of paint and paint a swirly line so it looks like moving clouds that are being blown by the wind.
  4. Take another color and paint another swirly line so it looks like clouds being blown by wind also, but smaller and on top of the other ones.
  5. Take another color and make a another swirly line like the others but on top.
  6. Now take some paint and make a dot the size of your thumb, from the tip up to your nail top.
  7. Take another color and make a dot on top of the first one in step 6 but the size of your index finger, from the tip up to your nail top.
  8. Take another color and make another dot the size of your pinkie finger from the tip up to your nail top and put it on the dot that you did in step seven.
  9. Then add more to the top color of each color and it should look like this.
  10. Look at yours, mine, and Van Gogh’s Starry Night, you should notice that yours and mine do not have anything but stars and swirly lines for the clouds. Starry Night has stars and swirly lines for clouds, houses, buildings, and also for a mountain. That is how you paint a Post Impressionistic painting. If you follow these simple steps your drawing should come out pretty well.
