Teaches Van Gogh for three weeks in his studio
At the end of November 1881 Van Gogh spends three weeks in Mauve’s studio in The Hague, where Mauve teaches him watercolour; other accounts say they began with oils and turned to watercolour only in early 1882. It is Van Gogh’s first experiment in painting under a master’s guidance.
