What is drawing? How does one learn it? It is working through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do. - Vincent van Gogh

About Vincent van Gogh
Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch Post-Impressionist painter who posthumously became one of the most famous and influential figures in Western art history. In a decade, he created about 2,100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of which date from the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and self-portraits, and are characterised by bold colours and dramatic, impulsive and expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. Not commercially successful, he struggled with severe depression and poverty, eventually leading to his suicide at age thirty-seven.

Dünyanın beni ilgilendiren tek bir yanı var: Otuz yıl üstünde yaşadığım bu toprağa karşı duyduğum belirli bir borç ve yüklendiğime inandığım bir görev; duyduğum bu şükran borcuna karşılık desen ya da resim olarak birkaç andaç bırakmak istiyorum geride -birtakım sanat akımlarının hoşuna girmek için değil, gerçek, içten, insancıl duyguları dile getirmek için. İşte, yaşamdaki amacım bu.
I hope.. ..to paint some in a lighter gamut, more flesh and blood, but, at the same time, I am trying to get a still stronger soft soap and copper-like effect. In reality I daily see, in the gloomy huts, effects against the light or in the evening twilight.. ..which I compare to soft soap and brass color of a worn-out 10 centime piece.
