Ellen Visser-Bergsma

Ellen Visser-Bergsma, Atelier AquarEllen, is a self-taught watercolourist, a medium that suits her perfectly. Always looking for challenges, Ellen started to develop this technique and display it on paper in her own way.

The transparency, flow and unpredictable nature of this medium makes it, in her view, a fascinating process, an ever-growing process.

Letting go of the beaten track from the watercolor circuit has created its own style that is highly appreciated by a large watercolor-loving public, nationally and internationally, which in turn stimulates you to continue on the chosen path and especially to enjoy the process of creating a watercolor.

Peace, space and looking as well as the art of omission is a guiding principle in her work, creating harmonious and expressive watercolors.

For anyone who wants to get acquainted with the watercolor technique, Ellen mainly says: enjoy the process and give yourself the time to master this technique, with patience and perseverance you will learn that automatically. This is how Ellen builds her course lessons, fun that must go hand in hand with learning and development.

She regularly gets the opportunity to exhibit her watercolors and Ellen is commissioned to make watercolors for individuals and companies and she is a  member of Aquarelle Pyrenneene France, and she is also co-founder of the NNAG; North Netherlands Watercolor Group since May 2025
