About the exhibition
During Edgar’s Drawing and Painting course, for both beginners and advanced students, participants receive individual guidance to develop their skills in various techniques.

Through diverse and inspiring themed assignments, they create personal interpretations based on observation and imagination. Themes include still life, landscapes, animals, models, and portraits. Each week focuses on a new theme. Students draw inspiration from seasonal colors and renowned artists, such as Matthew Wong after an exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum or Henri Matisse following the TV series Krabbé zoekt Matisse.

Edgar encourages his students to discover their creativity and develop a personal style. He values variety, diversity, and a positive learning atmosphere. “Draw your joy, paint your joy, and express your joy powerfully.” This quote from Pierre Bonnard is essential to Edgar’s teaching philosophy.

Educated at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam and specialized in portraiture, Edgar Jansen is a versatile artist and passionate teacher. Besides portraits, he specializes in landscapes and live sketches of dancers and musicians, working with pastel, oil paint, watercolor, and black-and-white materials.

For over 25 years, Edgar has been teaching at KunstLokaal SAKB. He also offers summer workshops in Amsterdam and Germany and conducts a masterclass in Flamenco drawing in collaboration with Terremoto.
