Hello, I am a self-taught watercolour artist, living in The Netherlands. I've painted on and off since 1980, but I paint more actively since about 2016. I paint exclusively in watercolour.
I try to paint all kinds of subjects, but partly due to my background as city planner I often choose an urban scene to paint. Although I like the idea of going out to paint, I’m mostly painting from a photo in my studio. I learn things through trial and error and by watching works of successful artists. I don’t aim to develop a personal style; I just try to paint better each time and enjoy the fascinating and quite challenging medium called watercolour. |
