where did Van Gogh learn to draw?

Pajama Wars asked:


Does anybody know what influences Van Gogh had, and possibly what school or teachers he had who may have influenced his drawing style…It seems so distinct. I’m not just talking about how he simplified shapes, I am also talking about his figurative handling of form.
I always thought he got into an art school but just never completed the program.
