A Meadow in the Mountains: Le Mas de Saint-Paul / Wheat fields in a mountainous landscape

Contours Van Gogh first uses a brown-purple colour to apply the contours of the mountains and the farm, and the main lines of the fields. He then fills in the scene with flat and impasto brushstrokes, with green tones for the foreground, ochres for the foliage and farm, and above that, blue-purple mountains and a green-yellow sky. With a layered structure and a varied brushstroke, he manages to create a convincing depth in the mountain scene. Farmhouse The farmhouse is the Mas de Saint-Paul.
