Four of my portraits from life, which were exhibited last week with work of my fellow painters of the β€˜wat een portret!’ group - led by Dica de Vries at KUZ-huis, Hoek van Holland. Three times a month we have the opportunity to paint portraits from a life model - great fun and very educational 🎨

Another portrait from life today - 4 x20 minutes only allow for a sketch, but it is great fun to do!! Today’s model was FranΓ§oise. The sessions are organised by Dica de Vries at KUZ huis in Hook of Holland - terrific! 🎨 #oilpainting #portraitfromlife #portraitpainting #ilovepainting

Final result of the botanical watercolour workshop by Anita Walsmit Sachs in Hortus Botanicus Leiden. Chose to bring and paint one of the flowers that are part of my daily job as a flower breeder: Ranunculus Butterfly Thiva - hard to get right but great fun in trying! πŸŽ¨πŸ’πŸŒ±

Today i finished this master-copy of painting by Jan Davidsz de Heem - changed a few details in the design which i thought were not accurate πŸ˜‰ - it took forever but it was great to combine my love for flowers with my love for painting πŸŒ±πŸ’πŸŽ¨ #art #oilpainting #flowers #study #flowerbreeder #biologist
