Peter Donkersloot
Tennis player surrounded by media
watercolor and pencil
Peter Donkersloot (April 8, 1959) was born in Arnhem. After his studies at the Arnhem Art Academy, Peter was a freelance illustrator for various publishers and advertising agencies. In his spare time he painted artistically. At the end of 1987 he discovered that work and ambition no longer went well together and he forced himself to make a decision.
Peter Donkersloot paints according to the old 'layer upon layer' tradition. Transparent layers upon each other give the paintings more depth and the colours are 'warmer'. This cannot be achieved by colours straight from the tube.
The old masters worked in the same way with home-made oil paint on oil base. Because of the slow drying they had to wait, sometimes even weeks, before they could add an extra layer.
This is why many artists, such as Donkersloot, now work with fast-drying acrylic (water-based) to achieve the same effects.
Donkersloot also uses silkscreen prints of old master paintings, which he covers completely or partially, with the aim of transforming the 'original' into a new, modern painting.
