Because creative growth should be accessible to all children, I am happy and proud that my drawing lessons are now also reimbursed by the Dutch Youth Fund for Sports & Culture.
The Netherlands is one of the richest countries in the world. Yet, on average, 2 to 3 children per class grow up in a family with financial difficulties. Children who cannot participate, do not have access to the opportunities that come naturally for others.
Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur (Dutch Youth Fund for Sports & Culture) makes it possible for children and teens from families with limited financial means to still participate in activities like football, music lessons, gymnastics, street dance, judo, theater lessons, drawing lessons, or any other sports or creative activities.
How do you draw water so that it looks like it rolls and glistens like real water? I will teach you in the mini-workshop “Like Two Drops of Water!”
On July 18 and August 14, I will be giving a mini-workshop on drawing water droplets in conjunction with the exhibition “The City and the Water.”
My submission ‘Frogprince’ has been selected as a finalist for the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize in the Emerging Artists category!!!
Beautiful Bizarre Magazine is a beautiful and inspiring Australian art magazine (and web platform) focused on contemporary art, with a worldwide readership.
Each year, the editorial team organizes the ‘Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize.’ This is an international art award that focuses on diversity and excellence within (static) figurative visual arts. All media, from traditional art (drawing and painting) to digital art and photographic art, and all styles from realism and hyperrealism to pop surrealism and lowbrow, are welcome to participate.
Winners in the various categories get the opportunity to exhibit their work at the Haven Gallery in New York during the Beautiful Bizarre group exhibition at the end of November.
My work got featured on Inspiration Grid: “Whimsical Animal Portraits by Githa van Eeuwen”
Inspiration Grid is an informative and inspiring online magazine for creatives. It offers a daily dose of design, art, illustration, typography, photography, architecture, fashion, and more.
In recent weeks, I worked on a special surprise project: a charcoal drawing of my client’s children, set in a whimsical scene that reflects their personalities and childhood. It was intended to be a special gift for their mother and wife, so cool!
I created several concept sketch variations, and after some deliberation and refinements, the three of them chose one of the designs. I then took reference photos of both children in my studio. I documented the drawing process in a timelapse video.
