For as long as he can remember, Reinoud has been drawing. It’s his talent—a talent he’s turned into his profession. Reinoud is a speed artist who can draw a black-and-white caricature in 6 minutes and a color drawing in 9 minutes. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2tZ4YoD9bI and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsnojKo_C8o
Within six minutes, Reinoud will sketch your guest in black and white, and within nine minutes, he’ll create a caricature in color. A wonderful keepsake and lots of laughter.
If desired, he can come dressed in a tailcoat, a medieval costume, or as a clown. In December, you might even get a visit from the “Drawing Pete” or “Drawing Santa.” Reinoud—a Frisian himself—lives in the province of Groningen. All you need to provide are two chairs and good lighting.
Ideal for:
Staff party
Wedding
Anniversary
Presentation
Retail and shopping center events
Customer appreciation day
Trade show
About Reinoud:
I run my drawing studio from a small, cozy cottage on Hongerige Wolf. While I work, I look out over the vast fields of East Groningen. Drawing is my talent. For as
long as I can remember, I’ve always drawn. It was a foregone conclusion that I would make drawing my profession—thanks in part to the Minerva Art Academy in Groningen, but also because I drew a lot—a whole lot.
As beautifully monotonous as the view is, my work is just as varied. I usually draw at home on my digital drawing tablet. In my drawing studio, I create caricatures, visuals, and illustrations. Sometimes I work on location. One time I might be dressed in a medieval costume as a speed artist; another time, I’m a session sketcher at an IT company’s brainstorming day; and yet another time, I’m a visualizer at a communications agency. I also teach. Once a week at De Boschpoort in Winschoten, and upon request, I lead workshops at companies. I work together with my wife, Loes. She writes copy: articles and advertisements, website content, and complete newsletters, including editorial plans. We complement each other well. Sometimes we work together, such as on the articles she writes for the trade magazine *Afval*. I come up with and draw the illustrations. Actually, I draw everything. But of course, I have my preferences. Besides people and animals, I love drawing motorcycles and cars—my great passion. Visuals and illustrations, which I majored in during college, are still a major challenge for me. The subjects vary widely, and the drawings usually have to be finished quickly.

i thought the people who were drawn were all grumpy and they thought so too so that was a shame !

I had booked the act Drawing Workshop by Reinoud Bekkema and it was excellent. It met my expectations and it was a successful evening. He kept his appointments and was right on time. All in all a pleasant experience.
, Marja
Reinoud made beautiful, funny portraits of many colleagues on a beer mat during our Christmas gathering. Nice as a souvenir to take away. Amazing that he can do this in such a short time.

All the people were very enthusiastic Beautiful successful drawings. Very much wanted by the people. Unfortunately you were gone before I could say goodbye. Only the next day I saw your mail that you couldn't find it. Luckily you made it through the bad weather. Thanks on behalf of everyone. And I would also like to thank you for your party

Reinoud was een aanwinst voor ons feest. Hij heeft leuke portretten op bierviltjes getekend. De gasten vonden het echt leuk. Veel tekeningen waren goed gelijkend, sommigen wat minder. Hij heeft lekker doorgetekend

My clients were very happy from this activation and received very nice copies!
June 2023, camperplaats Mieke's Hof Hoeven
Reinoud is a super illustrator guests were very satisfied and now have a nice memory of this weekend. Both the guests themselves and the dogs were captured on drawings and are now framed and hung in the campers and so go all over Europe. How nice is that.
