I chose these three artists because all of them has a nature kind of theme to their artworks. I like Van Gogh’s painting style and I also like his colour palette ideas that can help my colouring technique. My favourite thing about Bosch’s artworks are the animals, he makes it look realistic and cartoon-like at the same time and I think that that can help me create my own artwork that has animals in it. John Constable paintings are the perfect nature paintings in showcasing the beauty of nature. He paints depending on what he sees and not changing the natural landscape which is very important to my concept - to showcase the beauty of nature.
