Outdoor painting workshop

During this workshop, you'll paint in nature at beautiful, picturesque spots on Texel! Locations vary per workshop (think beach, dunes, forest, or village view). The exact location will be announced a few days before the workshop starts. This depends on the weather forecast. You'll start the afternoon by creating an initial sketch, determining the composition. You'll quickly develop your sketch in paint, focusing on color, form, and tone. Draw inspiration from the Impressionists, paying close attention to atmosphere and the light of the moment. You'll work with acrylic paint on panel. The group size is limited to nine participants, ensuring everyone receives ample attention. This workshop is suitable for both beginners and advanced students. Because you'll be working in nature and may have to walk a distance, mobility is important. Please also consider your clothing. The locations are almost always near a place with restrooms. The workshop is led by Marleen Bakker. She is a painter and exhibits her paintings at venues such as Galerie Posthuys in De Koog. Please note: This workshop requires a minimum number of participants. If there are too few participants or the weather is bad, you will be notified in advance whether the workshop can take place. The minimum age is 14 years. Do you have a suggestion for an alternative date that isn't currently scheduled? Please call Marleen Bakker at +31 646 682 337 or email info@marleenbakker.nl. Times: Various days from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Cost: €65 per person. This includes all art supplies, tea, and snacks. You'll go home with a work of art.

Kunstenaar (ZOUT) - Marleen Bakker

Kunstenaar (ZOUT) - Marleen Bakker

Marleen Bakker is a painter and has her studio in Den Hoorn. Born and raised on Texel, she moved to Groningen at 17. She has lived on Texel again since 2021. Marleen: "It's wonderful to live in such a beautiful place. As a painter, I'm touched by the light and the vastness of our Dutch coast. The landscape is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for me." During the summer months, Marleen enjoys working en plein air. It's quite special to immerse herself in a landscape and capture it on the canvas. Because speed is essential outdoors, she works with a palette knife and oil paint on panel. In the winter months, when the southwesterly wind howls around her farmhouse, she enjoys painting in her studio. She then expresses the summer impressions on large canvases or in miniatures. Painting Lessons Have you always wanted to learn to paint? Marleen offers drawing and painting courses and workshops for beginners and advanced students. You'll learn all about materials, composition, light/dark, and color. These courses can be held on location or in her studio, privately or in groups.
