I prefer to work traditionally, mainly with watercolor. I scan these paintings in order to digitally edit and optimize them. 

Characteristic of my work is a fairly realistic style combined with more painterly backgrounds. I also like to use extreme perspectives, because this gives extra dynamism to an image.
