Internationally collected artist, Liz van der Werff creates portraits in oils, pastels, watercolor and acrylic - -

Liz is a colorist, bordering on impressionism. Her portraits are mastepieces of subtle color that does not translate well to the internet. The images on this website DO NOT SHOW THE TRUE QUALITY of the portraits - to understand how much has been lost during the transfer to the internet, please read the customer's comments!
The close-up pictures are a bit better, but they are still not as good as the actual portraits.
Please click on any portrait for a better view & to see details (there are 26 paintings on this page)
