Art makes life more fun. Not only while making it you are involved in color, shape, expression, but also in the rest of your daily life you’ll enjoy your surroundings more. Groeten van Marc (Greetings from Marc) wants to help you use your inspiration to create a very personal artwork, to see your painting, drawing or poem in a different light, and we want to give you the confidence to go on an adventure and try new things. We offer you a whole spectrum of new techniques, materials and points of view, so that you can make something beautiful and unique.
