Reposted from @thepainthive Meet one of our newest Instructors: Henry van der Vijver! [@henryvandervijver] Henry is a London based decorative artist, bespoke surface designer, finisher and colourist. He fronts a small friendly team of the finest decorative artists through his company HV’ART Ltd. est. 1988. The team work predominantly for London Interior Designers & Architects to create beautiful classic and contemporary surface designs and finishes in both paint and plaster mediums. (Swipe to see just a few of their AMAZING projects!) Over the last three decades the team has completed commissions throughout the UK and internationally.⁠

Henry and his team have been instrumental in the environmentally friendly water borne paint movement in the UK and since 1996 he has been trading as a ‘Green’ business believing in looking after the planet, themselves and their clients. Due to this they became the innovators of the HV’Art Lacquer Paint system and the suppliers are now preparing to bring these products to market. [@hv_art_lacquerpaint]⁠

For the first time in 30 plus years, Henry and his team are teaching their designs and finishes. We look forward to sharing those online classes with you, and are excited to welcome you to their creative world! ⁠
