'Put the blue of the sea against the blue of the heavens, wipe some white of a sail in it and the wind starts to blow.'
Willem Hussem.
This painter and poet from The Hague, lived and worked from 1936 untill 1974, in a former bathing house in the Mijtensstraat,
The Hague. For twelve years untill 2006 I painted in this beautiful artstudio and gave the workshops 'studying the primairy form' as

About THE PRIMARY FORM: drawing and painting
Since May 2006 I give my workshops about the primary form in my studio and guesthouse in Ibrahimpasa,
Cappadocia in Turkey.Giving attention to participants and quality lessons is important, therefore I prefer to teach in small groups with a maximum of six. But other guests can work also in their own studio rooms. I have taught since 1993 and from that time I have developed the methodics and content of the lessons to make a diverse offer with different levels and strong visual results. Participants can be beginners or advanced: you can ask for more information about art–making in combination with a holiday stay in the guesthouse. In my resume you can read about my teaching past. Who want work independently is most welcome to stay longer and ask for feed–back from me or professional colleague's. Artist–in–Residency interested professional artists find information and an application form on my Turkey project page. All updated information and costs can be inquired through email
What means the primary form?
- 'imagine and visualise then realise' -
Primary form is the basics of the world of elements and we study all form for it's meaning which is the
starting point for abstraction and figuration. It is the most important and effective part of visual art.
Like learning to talk and to walk.By observing and analysing ones personal world of experience and shapes, it can be transformed into a specific language of images. Also the working of colour in relation to form will be discussed, as well as perspective and measures of scale; and designing and presenting. An important part of primary form is exercising with materials like: paper and canvas, paint and ink, brushes, pencils and pens and several chalks and coals. Do you have questions? send me a mail. |
