About the course
The painting course is given by Lisette Meijrink, Dutch artist and qualified teacher.
' We sit and paint in nature: Beautiful landscapes, old bridges, small villages or a nice detail. Under my guidance, you learn to look at the landscape in an original way'.
We focus on:
- Sketching technique and use of colour
- How to paint with oil paints
- Design painting
- Use of perspective
- Look at composition
It will be a great experience !
At the end of the three days you will certain have a fantastic memory with three canvas paintings from your own hand!
About us
Together with John I own a boutique-gallery in Assignan where we work in the summer. In the winter we travel.
I have been painting for about thirty years. As a background I have done an artistic- and teacher-education.
What I would like is to share all the beauty that the area offers here with others. Giving a personal experience with a tangible memory that you and others will remember with pleasure and joy.
I hope you're looking forward to it!
