'One last dance' Painting

It all started when… I discovered the cold wax medium! I am a Dutch Artist living in Plascassier, in the South of France. I have always been a creative person who loves to draw, paint and create things. After being a water colour painter for years, I switched to oils and painted mostly detailed portraits in oils. Although I loved working in oils, I felt like I was copying a reference picture rather than expressing myself. In search of other painting techniques, I stumbled on painting with cold wax medium which was completely new to me. I was fascinated by the beautiful paintings that can be made by using the cold wax techniques. Creating history in a painting in an impressionist way with colours shining through different layers is exactly what I love and what I was looking for.
