Morandi Vs. Van Gogh: Color

Morandi seems to enjoy a more washed out and blurred look to his paintings, likely due to a continued blending with thin paint. This is effective in demonstrating the benign and dull nature of his paintings. Van Gogh chooses vibrant colors with what appears to be a heavier brush stroke, with heavier paint. The effectiveness of this is obvious, allowing for a richer visual experience.
