Finding your style - the basics of drawing a painting

From 24.12 £ /h

With these courses I go over the basics of drawing and painting starting with the fundamentals.
The goal is to improve the individuals current level or building up of skills and confidence in creative outlets.

I experiments with different materials and techniques staring from observation-sketching and gradually moving into painting with the focus on the individuals self-expression. I give insight into color-theories and dive into varied art-styles in the aim to have fun with experimentation and finding the individuals own style.

Extra information

Bring your own block of drawing paper (a5-a4 or a3) and a basic pencil-set.

About Me

I am a woman (she/her), who grew up in a relatively small town named Næstved, located on the South of Zealand in Denmark. I moved to NL in 2018 to study at the Gerrit Rietveld Académie and finished my bachelor with honors in 22 from the specialised department Image and Language.

I am a painter by heat and have painted and made drawings since I was a child.
I had my first exhibition at 17 with a painting, but I call myself more of a multidisciplinary artist. I often work with themes and then from there it can be translated into different forms and materials.

In my practice I use my own body as a starting point, I interact with the world around me.
I am fascinated with the concept that one can create and re-create oneself through actions and so with my body make spaces into being.

In my artistic practice I see myself as a collector of a sort, a story teller documenting parts of daily life. In my work I wish to interact with the mundane and to question its existence and its structures, and then I try to approach it all with a playful attitude in order to highlight the absurdity of life.

Education

July 2022, I graduated with hornors from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in the specialized department ‘Image and Language’ and participating in the annual Graduation show with a bench-installation featuring 2 performance videos ‘Ringing my bell to the city’ and ‘Yelling from bridges’, a work that developed over a year’s research and from my thesis ‘Primal beings in domesticated spaces’ as well as my chapbook collection of poetry and short stories 'PPP'.

Sketch? Drawing a model? Painting with oil, watercolor or acrylic paint? I am happy to help you with this. I challenge you and I support you to develop your skills step by step, adapted to your level, into a fully-fledged work of art. We start with basic techniques, shadows, proportions, then we can make still lifes, portraits and even compositions.
I work as a museum teacher in various museums, including The Rembrandt House and the Hermitage. I am involved in a broad educational offer for various groups and individuals: from students in groups 4, 5 and 6 to gymnasium students and adults interested in culture and history. On the basis of various museum pieces I give different workshops, lessons, interactive tours at different understanding levels.
