Announcement
Welcome! I am Paula Kuitenbrouwer, commission and freehand artist. I make traditional, elegant, old school, and exquisite artwork. 'Delicate', 'Full symbolism', 'Intriguing details', that is said of my work.
My desire is to paint as beautifully as Dutch Golden Age floral painters, especially as Rachel Ruysch, and I dream of drawing as skillfully as 17-century landscape artists.
I like working with you on your commission, be it a book plate, an architectural drawing, a wedding anniversary gift, certificate border, or name/birth drawings.
I live with my husband and daughter in the Netherlands. My art teachers were Charito Crahay and Johan Kolman. I hold an MA degree in Philosophy and I am the owner of mindfuldrawing.com. My pen and pencils are always fighting for my attention nevertheless they are best friends; I like my art to be brainy and my essays to be artistic.
Mindfully drawing is what I aim to do. I like my artwork to radiates calmness and meditative peace. Unfortunately, I can not ship to Germany or France.

5 out of 5 starsWe ordered an original watercolor by Paula Kuitenbrouwer in The Netherlands for our friends Kenny and Ping who were recently married. Ping is a Chinese-American and Chinese Mandarin Ducks mate for life and are said to die if separated. Lotus flowers refer to a happy life together. The watercolor was perfect in every way and more beautiful than the photo we ordered it from. We highly recommend Paula Kuitenbrouwer. She is extremely talented, very responsive (we received the art within a week!), and lovely to deal with. ~Pat and Ralf Myers

5 out of 5 starsWe are thrilled with our beautiful, original watercolor by Paula Kuitenbrouwer in The Netherlands, of Mandarin Ducks, with lotus and other flowers. We emailed back and forth to discuss the size, colors, composition and why we were getting this painting. We had ordered an original for our friends Kenny and Ping who were recently married. Chinese Mandarin Ducks mate for life, and Lotus flowers refer to a happy life together. We loved this composition so much, and the meaning, we asked for Paula to especially create another composition for us. Luckily she had time in her busy schedule and we are beyond happy with getting this artwork for our 43rd anniversary. We highly recommend Paula Kuitenbrouwer. She is extremely talented, very responsive (we got both art pieces within a week!) and lovely to deal with. ~Pat and Ralf Myers

5 out of 5 starsThese cards are super high quality! The mandarin ducks are so detailed and amazing to look at! The envelopes included with the cards match so well and are very pretty! I'm looking forward to sending these to family and friends (and keeping one for myself...) The item was shipped very quickly, I received it in just a few days.

Mandarin Ducks are my speciality. I love capturing their cuteness. I sell prints. original drawings and commissions.
Welcome to my art gallery. Please enjoy my portfolio. There is lots of freehand and commissioned artwork. With kindness, Paula Kuitenbrouwer
Art is important. It is that simple. But finding artwork that you desire or need isn't easy. Contact me to talk about this. I have seen many happy commission customers because as much as I like to do freehand drawing and painting, I also like to listen to clients and work together towards a drawing or painting that serves a goal, your goal.
With kindness,
Paula Kuitenbrouwer
