Ed Schaap Email & Phone Number

http://www.schaap-art.nlhttps://www.facebook.com/Schaap.Art/?ref=admin_hovercardMy name is Ed Schaap and was born in Sittard, Limburg,The Netherlands in 1965. As a child I had already shown a penchant for fantasy and science fiction films and series that where at that time on the television. Especially at a time when films like Star Wars and Alien came in premier , I was fascinated by this unknown world, and I got carried away in it.As for the art I make, it must say that I was influenced and inspired by certain artists and concept artists, but in the course of time I have found my own way . The works I create are generally subjects from the history, myths and legends, but also the things of everyday life. I give it my own vision.The technique at the beginning that I used was airbrush. At a certain moment I started to miss a few things in my work. By experimenting with a combination of a brush and airbrush, I learned that the scenic effect of working with the brush was the missing element in my work. Whit these two components together in my recent work I find the result satisfactory.Despite this result, I am also begun to paint in oils. Here a completely new world opened for me, just to name one example, the colors obtained with oil paint are almost impossibleto make with acrylic paint.I have also been making digital illustrations, works created using a computer. I make this “from scratch” which means that you build a illustration completely from beginning to end from scratch, the same as a blank sheet of paper or canvas where you start sketching.
