The driving force behind our weekly painting lessons is Lisa van Nispen,who not only is a very creative and enthousiastic teacher,but she also manages to create a very good atmosphere in the group.A few years ago I really started painting from scratch and learned a lot from Lisa,especially composition,use of colors etc. During our lessons,Lisa walks around and gives advice in a friendly manner,never “forcing” things to do her way.The end result always becomes better ,while giving us the impression we invented it ourselves.
After a short bio from Lisa,you will find some of her large oeuvre.

Lisa van Nispen. Born in Denmark, and moved to the Netherlands in 1977. Worked for many years as a surgery assistent at the University Centre Hospital of Leiden(LUMC).
Drawn and painted for as long as i can remember. Followed courses in painting.
Started giving paintingworkshop’s in 2007.
Participated in many exhibitions during the years.
My works in acrylic are inspired by impressionist and abstract art.
I started in 2010 in de Blauwe Tram, Leidschendam, giving paintinglessons. I have 2 classes every week.
I love painting in luminous and contrasting colours.I learn my students to enjoy working with colours on a white canvas, everything can happen. Look beyond the horizon. It is such a joy, painting, and being together with other artlovers.
