A custom painting

One of my favorite things to do is create custom collage paintings. I translate your personal story into a powerful image. Whether it is the highlights of your life or the identity of your company, the outcome is always a unique and original work that you can continue to look at.

Every painting starts with a conversation. We discuss your wishes and what should be included in the painting. Sometimes there is already a very clear idea, sometimes not at all. We always find a solution by brainstorming together.

Composition sketch

When I have all the information I start the sketching phase. I puzzle all the loose pieces together into a rough composition sketch.

This sketch is mainly about where everything will be placed, not yet what it will look like.

This makes it easier to change or adjust things in consultation.

Final sketch

Once the composition sketch has been approved, I will develop it into a final sketch.

Everything is where it should be and I add smaller details. All individual elements take their final shape.

Adjustments can still be made in this phase after a feedback round.

Line drawing

After approval of the sketch, start creating the final line drawing.

The entire sketch is polished into a sleek line drawing that I draw on the final canvas.

The end result

Once the line drawing is properly on the canvas, the thinking is done and I can fully concentrate on the best possible effect.

Everything is coming together now.

The painting gains contrast, depth and detail.
