In het atelier
In mijn atelier werk ik aan nieuwe schilderijen, studies en schetsen. Op deze pagina deel ik lopend werk en een kijkje achter de schermen bij het schilderproces. Hier vindt u foto’s en korte updates van schilderijen in wording, soms van de eerste penseelstreek tot het eindresultaat. Regelmatig plaats ik foto’s of filmpjes van opzetten, eerste fases van een schilderij en andere bezigheden in mijn atelier. Volg deze pagina voor actuele ontwikkelingen, tentoonstellingsvoorbereidingen en bijzondere details die normaal alleen in het atelier te zien zijn.

This is so hilarious - a woman #art student in Spain uses my work to learn #painting…! She copied several paintings from my #book. I didn’t even know of her existence. I’m very flattered, @sylvithings 😉 #copyingisthebestcompliment #copy of #isabellawerkhoven You can check out the originals on my profile @isabella_werkhoven

New ✨ - almost finished (the things I still want to do are won’t be visible in an image of this resolution)
🖼️** Ocean Size ** Nr.1 / 2024-25 / #acrylic and #oil on linen #canvas / 100 x 120 cm
🗯️•• This is Nr. 1 of a small series of #waterscapes #ponds that is actually based upon a spot in the west of the Netherlands. Nr.2 is already set up and it’ll depict the ‘hidden’ swimming spot of a small group of women, including the person who commissioned my first painting of the London swimming pond.

New ✨work, about done
🖼️ Star Forest / 2024-25 / 50 x 60 x 3 cm / acrylic and oil on #wood panel
One of the many paintings I’m working on is now about finished. I love to work intuitively; which means: what work in progress I feel like working on. Depending on what idea comes up.

Since yesterday in its new #habitat - from a 5 month #exhibition in #museum #vangoghhuiszundert
So nice to see it in its new environment - and suddenly this pretty large #painting (120 x 150 cm) has turned into a seemingly average size..!
🖼️ Nature’s Secret Game II (#sunflowers nr.16) / 2024 / 120 x 150 cm / acrylic and #oil on panel / private #collection
#contemporaryart #home #artcollector #artlover #fineart #contemporarypainting #oilpainting #artcollection #atmosphere #homeiswheretheartis #isabellawerkhoven
*** With many thanks to Kees van de Ven from Van Gogh Huis Zundert who did the hanging on the wall of both museum and home of the owners. And last but not least many thanks also to the owners, who showed a lot of patience, waiting for their new purchase to be hanging on their wall.:)

✨Almost finished: **** To A Strange Land Searching / 2023-24 / #acrylic and #oil on #wood/panel / 30 x 40 cm
• I might do a few touches, a bit of glazing here and there, but the #paint is wet now, so I’ll wait ‘til next week. It already has many, many #layers of oil paint. ‘Skin’ isn’t ‘built in a day’.🙃
•• This is a place I’ve never been myself, it’s based on an image of a friend that I sort of appropiated by adding elements but mainly by imposing my #painter’s perspective on it.
••• It’s nice, as an artist, to feel as free as possible in what and how you want to paint.

🖼️ This is one of 3 small #paintings on this subject: northern #island locations. Funny again how the #movie I recently watched (#Bird by Andrea Arnold, whose films I’m a fan of) and the nature descriptions in a book I read (The Vegetarian by Han Kang) inspired me for the final touches. Also on the other one of the three works.

#workinprogress #wip 🎨 Second phase of a #new work in setup – I always love the abstraction in the initial stages of setting up a new painting. Over the past two years, I’ve even been working on a #canvas that will remain semi-abstract (a loosely commissioned piece). This stage offers so much freedom (everything is still possible) and makes it fascinating to watch the planned scene emerge.
This one is one of three small works of a specific subject/location/region that is inspired by a friend for whom I am making one small painting. It’s a gift from all her friends and family to celebrate her earning a doctorate. I always like to make more than one work to be able to do exactly what I think is best and most interesting. And of course because I can’t choose between several nice ideas.😉
