Sketch Portraits

COMMISSIONS & LIVE SIGNATURE SKETCHES

 

What are sketch portraits?

These  are quick yet expressive artworks, highlighting personality and mood through fluid lines and strong contrasts. My Sketch portraits capture the raw essence of a person in a bold, minimalistic style. 

I do sketch portraits both from photos as well as live sittings

Ever experienced a Live Portrait before?

My Live Signature Sketch Sessions

are exhilarating art experiences not only about creating a portrait -they're meant to  capture the raw, unfiltered essence, the energy and unique spark of a person in the moment.

There is a real-time connection between me and my subjects - strangers becoming sitters and in just 45 minutes, we connect through quiet conversation, laughter and the dance of a pencil on paper;  each stroke bringing their presence to life with authenticity and emotion.

So are you seeking, not only a one-of-a-kind artwork, but a beautiful memory of being seen—truly seen—through the eyes of a caring artist? Reach out to me.

Where to find me?

I create live portrait sketches wherever I can set up and connect—whether it's a sunlit park, a buzzing street festival, a cozy corner café or a quiet soul spot that just feels right. I’m based in the Netherlands and if you’re around Amsterdam, Haarlem or Zandvoort, chances are you’ll spot me with my sketchbook in hand.

I’ve had the honor of drawing beautiful souls in beautiful places:

NAIROBI - Kenya 

KAMPALA- Uganda

HAARLEM- Netherlands 

AMSTERDAM- Netherlands

MOLBERGEN - Germany

ZANDVOORT - Netherlands

My dream is to travel the world, connecting with people through the universal language of art. So whether you're nearby or across the globe, you can still get your sketch: just schedule a session if I’m in your area—or simply send me a photo and I’ll bring your portrait to life from where I am.

How A Session Works

 

1

 Sit & Relax

Settle into a natural, relaxed pose and stay fairly still for the first 15 minutes. We'll enjoy an easy conversation as I sketch, making the experience as lively and memorable as the portrait itself.

 

2

 Sketch in Motion 

I try to work swiftly, capturing the likeness in the first 15-20 minutes of  drawing and finishing in 35–40 minutes

 Take It Home -  Instantly

Once your portrait is complete, you can take it with you right away. Framing is optional — and when available, you can even choose a frame on the spot for a ready-to-hang masterpiece!

FAQS

Relax! A natural pose makes for the best portrait. Minor movements are okay.

Not at the moment for live portraits — capturing multiple faces on the spot requires a level of speed and spontaneity I’m still perfecting.
That said, couples and group portraits are absolutely welcome as studio pieces, created thoughtfully from reference photos.

Each portrait takes around 35–45 minutes.
