You’re ready to move beyond beginner basics, and explore advanced brushwork, layering, and color blending.

Hey, I am Esther

I’m a 21-year-old Dutch art student and faith-based painter who believes that art can heal, inspire, and tell powerful stories. My own journey began in 2022, during a season of burnout, when I turned to painting as a way to find hope again.

What started with portraits soon grew into a passion for realism that led me to exhibit in Belgium and collaborate with well-known artists and singers. Today, I paint with the purpose of reflecting God’s grace and encouraging others—especially young people walking through hard times.

Now, I’ve created this masterclass to share everything I’ve learned—from the fundamentals of realism to advanced painting techniques—so you can bring your own stories to life on canvas.
