This class is all about trees!
Trees are most important to us. They give us oxygen, we use their wood to build our houses and warm ourselves… and where would us artists be without paper, brushes, easels, frames etc… And for many painters, trees are one of the greatest sources of inspiration!
In the first part of this class I'll take you to gorgeous France. You see how I sketch my favourite trees on location (like at an amazing French 15th century chateau!) so you'll get inspired to go and sketch outside as well. Catch the vibe of being in nature! In a beautiful garden with stunning views of the hills near Toulouse, you'll be introduced to playing with acrylic inks. In the second part we visit my studio where I will share with you step by step: working on the foundation, colour choice and composition, painting layers and adding details with inks. I encourage you to paint in a loose, abstract and impressionistic style.
This class is for beginners or experienced painters. Watch the 1st lesson for free and get an impression of what to expect. You find it below in 'Curriculum'.

"‘Trees in the light’ is incredibly beautiful and inspiring! I’ve learnt so much and enjoyed playing and experimenting. Marloes’ explanation is clear and really amazing. She’s my hero! I wish you a lot of painting pleasure!"
- Marion, Student, Trees in the Light
Working with wood and twigs
In the class we work with acrylic paint and acrylic inks. We create a series of 4 tree paintings. What makes this class such a rich experience is that you’re not solely focusing on trees as a subject, but also using tools which trees have provided for us. We’re working on wooden panels and using twigs for some of the detailed line work.
Suitable for all seasons
Another good thing about trees is, they’re always there! This class is suitable for all seasons. Wonderful blossom trees in spring, full and green crowns in summer, warm and rusty colours in autumn and even in winter you can focus on the bare trees or evergreen trees.

Back home she mixes her impressions with her rich inner world. When these two come together, magical creations are born.

"It was a great pleasure to join in the course 'Landscapes in Lines'. This class was coming at the right moment, as I was figuring out how to translate landscapes into a more abstract form. I found it helpful to see how Luz firstly creates her sketches in nature and later uses them for her paintings. Also her special color palette was inspiring, which stimulated me to try to use different colors too. She showed her work, in many layers and with a lot of texture.
I am continuing my search for abstraction in paintings, to work in lines more and more. The instructions in the lessons are very clear and you can watch them time and time again.
