This was my first big Lego set and it was definitely a challenge. However, it was so fun to build and it works perfectly on my wall over the flower sets I already built. I am excited to build other art sets next.
Just wow! The final product looks amazing and would look great decorating a wall in anyone’s home. The build was fun and interesting. Very nice touch to listen to the podcast and learn more about van gogh while building. It’s a great addition to the lego art collection. I would love to see more in this series done as well as this set!
I didn't think LEGO could exceed the wonder of "The Great Wave". I was wrong! "Van Gogh Sunflowers" is an amazing build experience and a centerpiece attraction when hung in a place of honor. Everyone who visits and sees this is overwhelmed by the gorgeous display and how it works as an homage not a copy. I decided to add some pieces to add relief to the vase. I regret not changing the build by setting in place the grey base plates for the canvas first then installing all the colors from that point. If you are a stop motion videographer, do that and you even could take paint brushes and make it look like you are painting on the pieces. Be sure after you build this to watch, "How to Steal a Million," staring Audrey Hepburn - you will understand why when you meet "Papa".
I bought this for myself as an early birthday present. I love the Art series because I am a painter. This was a really fun build. Lots of small pieces but it came together beautifully. I loved the fact that I could listen and learn about the painting as I was building. Can't wait to see what paiting you replicate next.
This was a great build. Extremely intricate but so fun to put together. Once I finished this, I immediately hung it up in our guest room with other art prints and it looks lovely.
I was so excited to pre order this once I got the email and I couldn't wait the entire month to get it. Out of all of the art builds I own, this is at the to of the list now. I took my time assembling this because, I wanted to enjoy the experience of building up the 3d layers like painting my own masterpiece. The little touches like the leaves and moveable petals is top notch. And the yellow variation throughout is really delightful. I can now appreciate why this version was chosen. Highly recommended set.
This has been my favorite build to date. I visited the Van Gogh Museum a few years ago and it this Sunflowers painting that stopped me in my tracks. So beautiful and the colors - just magical. That image has stayed with me so when I saw that there was going to be a build based on this painting I was all in. To learn that the Museum played a part in the design and to see all the care that went into the design made this kit a little bit magical too. The flowers are a wonder and the color palette is perfection. I loved building Starry Night but this build took the cake.
Ordered this for my adult daughter. She expressed a desire for this to hang over the mantle in her home. She received this on the first day of availability and anxiously completed its assembly that night. It is beautiful and will be admired by all for some time to come.
