After University gives art lessons and young, and adult. Feeling happy doing that. Marite works in oils, acrilycs, she loves drawing with pencil. Inspiration comes from classic art, from nature, from observation. The collection of work on this site includes drawings and paintings in still life, portrait. Marite’s oils feature the Old Master technique of layered painting constructing with glazing.

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.Marite shares her talents by teaching.  She is generous with her knowledge and even in a workshop environment  strives to help each student individually as much as possible.  She teaches a classic style that is basic and yet deliberate.  The focus is on shape, value, color and design.  Her lessons loosen up painter, placing emphasis on what is really important in a painting rather than the details.

Art is an adventure into an unknown world, which can only be explored by those willing to take the risks.” – Mark Rothko
