Van Gogh is a brilliant artist. It doesn't matter if he used a short cut or what-nots. It may only prove that most likely, many other artists could have tried it just as well. And so what used a different method for some of his works? He probably experimented, and some of it worked for him. He feverishly painted around 900 paintings and more than 1,000 sketches/drawings in the last 10 years of his life. Give the man a break.
Besides, Vincent isn't just famous because of his uncanny "exact" resemblence of pictures, people, or places to his arwork. He's also famous because of his determination to find love, being accepted, and at what extent he took himself to try and get there.
I TELL YOU, THE MORE I THINK THE MORE I FEEL THAT THERE IS NOTHING MORE TUREULY ARTISTIC THAN TO LOVE PEOPLE --VINCENT VAN GOGH
And this is one of the many reasons why the world adores him so much.
