Workshop2




This are the paintings I made at the workshop.
Lilies on a smaller format, daisies and at last roses from a photo
of Stephie (Thank you). I finished the roses at home.

Workshop


In October I stayed with my friend Stephie, and together we went to a workshop of Trevor Waugh.
Flowers in watercolour.
It was really fantastic. An eye-opener for me. Especially for the backgrounds.
It was very intensive, also because I had to concentrate on the English as well as the painting.
BecauseTrevor teaches small groups, everyone gets the attention they need from the teacher. Including getting to know each student, help, feedback and evaluation.
He showed many demo's from the beginning of a painting till the finishing touches. Just awesome.
He showed many demo's like daisies, roses in different colours.
This is one of his demo's of lilies.

Playing Paige


Months ago I painted a background without knowing what to paint on it, until I saw a picture of a friend. Playing Paige.
To me an unique atmosphere that was exactly what I needed on that background.

Dutch landscape


Well, when I don't know what to paint, I paint a landscape from the area around me. That is always inspiring, because the colours changes by the day.
