Painting Portrait Tips / Lots of information about how to paint a portrait
Almost 10 years ago I painted in oil the portrait of our daughter when she was 18 years old. The watercolour painting is made some ten years earlier. End of next week we will celebrate her wedding in Madrid.
I am glad that I painted some portraits of her. I never think in terms of eternity and I don’t consider my work so important that everyone will have to remember me after hundred years. But these portraits are different to me. You will understand.
We are living for 23 years now in Spain and I still enjoy our life here very much. Nice country and nice people. I never miss Holland but sometimes when I see my older watercolours I want to go for a short walk in the polder.
Here you see some of my watercolours. People asked me if I could teach watercolour. It sounds strange but I hardly know myself what I am doing. There is to much secret in this technique. I learned a lot by looking to other artists.
