About Robbert

I am a full-time artist, portrait painter, art historian and writer of art publications. I have taught art for 30 years and have supported young artists to reach a level of professionally exhibiting and selling through a gallery. I myself professionally created portraits for international clients (Embassies, United Nations, multinational companies, families) making stately portraits, presents for promotions, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries etc; the portraits are classical, using materials typical for the Renaissance and Impressionism (Oils, Gouache, Watercolours, Pastels, Sanguine, Charcoal); the caricatures always respect the model without making them ridiculous, while adding anecdotal fun, typical of the represented individual’s personal life. My teaching is very personal, empathetic, and educated, as well as focusing on technique and skill, while respecting each student's level and guiding them intuitively towards their next ‘personal best’ level. On the way to that achievement we look at and derive inspiration from the great masters (Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Van Dyck, ...) or the modern Degas, Van Gogh, or Hockney. The lessons series start with a chat on what you want to achieve as a student and then let you draw something your choice to assess your level. Whether the art student prepares for an exam, just wants to start enjoying art, or develop to a next level that can be professional, anyone’s need is addressed.

Students ranging from children to senior adults are all extremely satisfied with their progress after just a few of my drawing or painting lessons; some have become successful exhibiting artists, e.g. my own daughter Sophie Ruigrok. In our lessons we usually start with drawing natural objects such as leaves, flowers or photographs of animals, then evolve to still lives and the human figure including portraits and hands — from life or after Renaissance artists. We approach the lesson from the student’s personal level of skill, by fully respecting their spontaneous preferences. The style of teaching is very interactive, encouraging, greatly respecting and supportive of the artistic style and personality of the pupil, while maximising skills, and uncovering the pleasure of successful art making.
