“In alle hectiek van alle dag heb ik gisteren niet formeel
afscheid van je kunnen nemen. Het eindresultaat heeft mijn verwachtingen
overtroffen, er zijn heel veel complimenten uitgedeeld door ouders
en leerlingen. Heel erg bedankt voor je inzet en ik ben blij dat
ik grotendeels vanaf de zijlijn heb mogen meewerken aan dit project.
Ik ben er erg trots op!“

“In 2007 Wim organized a painting-workshop for my team at
a very nice restaurant in Bakkum (Castricum NH). Wim’s painting-workshop
was well prepared and organized and Wim had a good interaction with
the members of the team. He inspired them and as a result everybody
gave his/her best. In a short-time everybody made 2 paintings which
were joined in a very-nice and colourful team-tableau which know
is one of the eye catchers of the department. The workshop enabled
the team to discover their creative capacities.
In the end Wim made us work hard but it was fun.”

“I attended one of Wim's painting workshops.
He makes you believe you can really be creative and able to make
a nice painting.
The result at the end of the workshop will show you that he is true!”

”Join a workshop by Wim de Goede, enjoy the creative process
(yours and the group process) and be happily ever after with your
own result.
Enrich your life; believe you can really be an artist, following
the simple directions given in his workshop.
I joined a workshop at location. In a few minutes the boardroom
was transferred in a painting atelier, our business outfits were
covered with skirts, and we were all placed behind our own painter’s
easels.
Wim had ordered some fruits and bottles at a podium and our first
assignment was to make a composition in charcoal. Wim easily convinced
me to use lots of paper here, before being satisfied with my composition.
The second phase was: “See the light”. With the charcoal
we had to darken the shadow-spots, using lots of charcoal where
there is no light and a bit where there is little light. So you
had to leave the light spots untouched.
Then we took a break. After the break we had to make a painting
using the charcoal composition and only three colors, plus white,
acryl-paint. “Use the yellow for light, the blue for dark
and the red for middle-light-spots.” This is getting really
crazy, I thought, so, time - and result driven, I just started.
Sometimes Wim passed and said things like: “Stay with the
total picture /…don’t lose yourself in a detail / ….what
a beautiful color you’ve made /..use this color on several
areas ../.. make this empty background more interesting… “.
And then, within 2 hours my painting was done.
It was good. It still is good.
It’s a part of my interior and gives me a joyful memory every
day.”
