SEPTEMBER
“Rhythm”

Learning from the heart
Online classes designed to support your creativity
Learning basic and advanced art skills doesn’t have to be tedious or uninspiring. I love teaching people how to work on their goals by combining technical exercises with creative, dynamic projects. Art is more than just a skill; it’s a healing mindset.
I have both shorter workshops and extensive courses available; whatever suits your creative need right now. I give feedback and support in my safe, private Facebook group!

Studying colour: Suze Robertson’s ‘Pietje’
Last week I forgot to quote Gwen John’s brother Auguste – a painter like his sister – who said: “In fifty years I will be known as the brother of Gwen John”. In a better world, that would have been true but unfortunately Auguste failed to recognise the power of misogyny. In that same better…

Studying colour: Gwen John’s self portrait
During my upcoming live stream I’d like to continue to focus on colour, that illusive topic that both fascinates and tortures me. Seriously, it’s that dramatic!
