Jacob M. van Laar

Born (1962, Voorburg) and raised in the Netherlands I was infected by the painting bug at  a young age. I am largely self-taught, having done masterclasses with Frank Leenhouts (Wacker's, Amsterdam, 2019), Klassieke Academie Groningen (2020), Andrew James (Ditchling, England, 2021), and West Dean College (bij Chichester, Engeland,2023). I paint portraits (preferably from live sessions) and (en plein air) landscapes mainly in a figurative style..I hope you enjoy the paintings on my website, feel free to comment or get in touch with me.
