Joel from Mexico

Joel, all the way from Mexico, made lots of art during the Summer Art Club workshops. A picture frame for his mum's birthday, a life size selfportrait, decorating ceramics, fantasy art and his mini movi animation. View it here!

It was a pleasure having you here Joel and may be we will see you again some time in the future!

Seventeen meters of spoons!

In May of this year I started painting the inside of a restaurant terrace wall. It's seventeen meters long and fourty centimeters high. The original painting of the spoons is hanging in the restaurant D-light. It's one of the restaurant owners favourite paintings so he commissioned me to paint the inside of the terrace with the same spoons. The painting was first done in acrylic with an oil top coat.

Even though I had to sit there in the blinding sun the end result is worth the effort!

All the way from Norway

Beginning of April, Uliana joined the class for a two week intensive course with me. She came all the way from Oslo in Norway which I thought was pretty cool ! Uliana wanted an intensive course in drawing and painting as she intends to study in the USA next year, she wants to become an interior designer. I must say that I enjoyed her company very much and we had a great time together. In the two short weeks that she was with me, we covered design theory, perspective, colour, basic drawing skills, figure drawing, contrasts and much more.

Unfortunately when it was time for Uliana to leave, the volcano in Iceland decided to errupt and instead of flying home, it took her six trains two buses a ferry and a taxi to get home! Glad to have met you Uliana and keep intouch.

Studio Jean on Expat tv

A camera man and lady walked in to our studio equipped with bags, cables, cameras and microphones one Tuesday in October. They where from the Expat tv and came to interview us as Expats living in The Hague. 

It’s quite daunting having to tell your story with a camera in your face and a huge microphone hidden just out of sight. We did very well though, even if we do say it ourselves. 

We would like to thank all pupils that joined in and made Studio Jean look great! Take a look and let us know what you think of our interview!

Parels in de wijk

In de Vruchten- Bloemen en Vogelwijk wonen veel talentvolle mensen. Op 31 oktober openden zo'n veertig bewoners hun deuren om hun hobbie of passie te tonen aan iedereen die het wilde meemaken.  

Wij deden ook mee! Onze deur stond open voor mensen uit de buurt die hun creative nieuwsgierigheid wilde temmen. Wat is Studio Jean, wie zijn ze, wat doen ze en waar gaat het allemaal over? Er was veel belangstelling en jong en oud maakten samen een kleurrijk schilderij. Nieuwsgierig? Dit is het resultaat en het echte werk hangt in onze etalage. 

Volgend jaar doen we graag weer mee aan deze bijzondere dag. Alle bezoekers bedankt!

Groeten Jean en Jocelyn.
