You are most welcome to join me at my courses abroad. In 2027 I will be teaching at some wonderfull spots in France, Portugal and Italy. All given in the most beautiful surroundings where you can relax after an intensive day of painting. Excellent food and lovely people are guaranteed.
I would like to meet you at these one week portrait or figure courses where I’ll be teaching in English and Dutch. Best suited for painters with some experience.
You’re also welcome at my studio in Weesp, where I offer various portrait and model painting courses.
With clear guidance and a well-chosen palette, I’ll help you paint a powerful and expressive portrait, always with an eye on your own abilities, goals, and ambitions. Painting experience isn’t required, though it does help: the more you have, the sooner you can seek greater depth. And ultimately, that’s what it’s all about. If you’ve taken one of my workshops before, we’ll raise the bar a little higher. The groups are small, so you’ll get plenty of individual attention.
I am so proud to announce that with my portrait of Elvan I won the prestigious William Lock Portrait Prize at the annual exhibition of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters in Londen. A prize awarded annually for the most timeless portrait with a real feeling for paint and its aesthetic potential.
