He generaly works in Nantes and Paris, but he also completed many projects internationally. His book Art of Decorative Painting has recently been published, with which he wants to share his knowledge and methods.

J2 In his Masterclass on Sunday May 12 you will paint ‘faux’ moldings and ornaments in a Grisaille technique.

Gert-Jan Nijsse 

Gert-Jan Nijsse  has been active in the field of imitation techniques for more than 30 years. He has learned the tricks of the decorative trade in various places in the Netherlands, Belgium and France. Due to the long search for the possibilities of low-solvent products, his insights were also requested in the development of the “Acrilino”. The results were very convincing and the step to the right method was made.

This Masterclass gives the opportunity to become familiar with the possibilities of working effectively with Acrilino within the field of marble imitations. The feeling of being able to work in oil, but also to perform several operations within one day, means that ‘on the job’ the techniques can be carried out faster and equally convincingly. One must have a well/prepared plan, but then the implementation becomes fun!

G1 In his Masterclass on Saturday May 11 you will practice and learn about wood imitation Crotch of Lemonwood and heart-grain of Teak.

G2 In his Masterclass on Sunday May 12  you will create imitations of Grey “Brêche”and Red Levanto Marble.
