Ornamental Woodcarver
The Visit of
The European Fine Art Fair in Maastricht
The TEFAF
Visiting Museums and Castles is Probably the main source of inspiration for the Ornamental Woodcarver.
These are places where the craftsman gets his ideas, he is looking for new challenges and always new unexpected surprises, and even after 25 years still feels something new to learn.
Exploring and studying ,looking at problems and how your colleagues 300 years ago solved them, their knowledge of tasteful proportions used in the interior decoration and their knowledge of carving techniques.
In the 25 years that I am carving
ornaments, you know by now where , and in which museum or castle, what kind of ornament,
decoration style, character, quality is available . Or in which castle there is
possible change to take pictures or .... when it is required too take notes or
drawings .
On an antique fair you just ask the exhibitor, he will usually allow you to take pictures, because he doesn’t know you and maybe, just maybe you are a potential customer for him.

It is for the ornamental Woodcarver of
great importance to have a lot of documentation, drawings and pictures , this
source of inspiration can be consulted later by a possible restoration or reconstruction
of ornaments.
In the creation and drawing of new
ornaments and compositions
a comprehensive library of books and
pictures is really necessary, this information gives the ornamental
Woodcarver a greater freedom in drawing and design.
A lot of information (pictures) also contributes to the ornamental carver a better understanding of the forms and characters that can be consult. And this together with a large amount of plaster casts and wooden examples you're already well on your way.
