Learn how to paint portraits more freely
and find the time to play
For 5 weeks everything will be about
Dreaming, Playing and Painting PORTRAITS!
Did you always want to paint more freely?
Here is your chance with an e-course designed to help you letting things go.
January 25th - February 28th 2021
You recognize that feeling
when you know exactly what kind of painting you want,
but suddenly the lines on your canvas are too tight again?
How did that happen? Well I have been there and it took me some time to figure it out.
I did like my portraits to have some resemblance to the model, but I also wanted the freshness of some distorted lines and unmixed paint here and there.

Once you have cracked the secret, you can do it on any size
Maybe other people told you that you need to practice a lot before you can master something.
I feel it is more important that you want to DARE new things.
You will have to put some practice in letting your movements flow naturally, but it is also a matter of having fun!
In this e-course there will be different assignments to help explore your own style. Students are always surprised by their progress in an e-course which is partly due to the fact that they learn from the other artists taking the course, not just from the teacher.
Another great thing is that you can watch something on a video as often as you like, if you didn't get it right away.
When you scroll down you can see the students work from the Dutch e-course last September.

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday you will get access to a new lesson.
Monday & Wednesday these will be lessons of 1 hour with lots of inspiration.
Every Friday you will get a longer lesson (approx. 3 – 6 hours, or as long as you like).
You will have access to the course for 6 months, but it's my experience that you will learn most if you try to keep up with the group. Which means that most people don't post much in the Facebook group after 3 months. That is why I have scheduled a "catching up week" after the first two weeks of lessons.
There will be some extra options in that week for the fast liners :-)
During the week I will answer questions from the participants in the private Facebook group. On Sunday evening I will discuss at least 4 paintings to review what we have learned that week.
My demonstrations will be in acrylics, but it’s also possible to use oil paint.

I loved this e-course!
Mariekes comments were positive and constructive. I got tons of ideas and now that I dare to explore much more I will try them all. The different apps she explained to us are invaluable and I see endless possibilities with them. Thank you very much and let me know when you will start a new course, I would love to join again.

About the teacher
Already as a child I loved painting, mostly intuitively. I still love unexpected things to happen, but I also like to decide when the time is right for those happy little accidents. During my studies I learned a lot about colour theory and the effects of colours. As an interior designer I use that knowledge to evoke the right feeling in spaces with different colours. With painting there is even more to explore, I don't think I will ever get tired of that.
After exhibiting my work I got more and more questions if I could teach how to paint. And because I love to help people to become more creative I started teaching for Artnight. That's where I learned how to explain different painting techniques. And for my own workshops and e-courses I found ways to show my process. That is from how to get ideas of what to paint, to choosing colour palettes and lay-outs to creating different atmospheres.
Every day I am happy to be living in Utrecht, a beautiful medieval city with a lot of canals. Utrecht is right in the centre of The Netherlands, in 40 minutes I am at the doorstep of so many great museums. Van Gogh museum, Rijksmuseum and The Hermitage are only a few of them and I have learned so much from studying the masters! I love to share that knowledge with you too.
I really like to teach and would love to help you improve your painting skills in a short time span. So you can fully enjoy playing with paint.

Marieke gives good advice so you dare more and enjoy the process of painting. Because she explains her process step by step, you can do this too.
I really wish you to have this quality time for yourself!
