Flower on paper

workshop 'draw your own flower still life'

By artist Arjenne Fakkel

Floris Verster is considered the great innovator of flower still life. Where his predecessors mainly had an eye for exotic flowers and plants, Verster is the first Dutch artist to radically opt for the everyday nature around him. He draws and paints field flowers and “weeds” in all their simplicity and often puts one type of flower at the center of the three stages of growth, flowering and decay.

In the museum studio, typical Verster flowers and vases are available for you to use to draw your own flower still life with colored pencil on colored paper.

"Yes, but I can't draw at all,” we often hear. And that is exactly why artist Arjenne Fakkel developed this workshop for all ages where drawing experience is not necessary.
Come play with color and good materials and let the inspiring museum teachers advise you on how to achieve a surprising result. At the end you will make a nice frame around it and then your artwork is complete!
