What's this?

Details

Description
I am friendly and calm, very creative and positive in life. Speaking dutch as motherlanguage. I am Tom, doing illustrations and also i am busy with painting. I spend my free time in a creative way ;)
Type of help
Art project
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Here you can learn about the way of Belgian life. Posing for painting at the first place is the goal of the project and the whole process being a model, if you like to get some knowledge of drawing skills its also welcome to learn it after modeling ;)
Help
It would be interesting to have someone creative that like to pose for painting as live (nude) model. Assistance able to situations from art. It is an exchange, i realise it is a proposal also about lifting eachother up in a creative way, and not the opposite. I am eventually seeking for a type of person, open minded (interested and curious about painting and drawing), hippy soul and grateful.

To inform a volunteer i prefer in advance after receiving a request to have a good communication for knowing eachother and arrange the days or weeks, also at a lastminute moment informing eachother is usefull. Thanks for understanding ;)
Languages spoken
English, French, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese
Accommodation
You have your own flexible couch for sleeping, that can be used as a big bed in the sunny livingroom. The livingroom is during daytime a sharing space and for painting. Of course i ask to respect and keep the spaces clean.
What else ...
My place is near a metrostation and 40 minutes walking from the city centre when it's a sunny nice day. There is a lot to do in town during the free time. Theatre, different cinema, concerts ...

Natascha is a great and very loyal person that i could meet and host during almost a month. I was lucky to work with her and she has a lot of skills in art to share. Graphic design, illustrations, video, photography ... talented in drawing, those all on a high level. I must say that Natacha is clean, hard working, organised and good in cooking.… read more

It was my first experience and I was certainly worried. We had a wonderful time together. Tom is very kind, caring and open. He jokes all the time and makes you smile. I had a wonderful feeling that I was at home. It is a rarity. He is a great professional artist who fanatically loves art. He opened the doors for me to this world and it was… read more

Tom is a good host, nice, respectful and easy going.

I had a good time exploring brussels and lots of time, even when i was just one week in brussels. Posing for Tom doesn't felt as a work, when you are interested in his art und good talks ( even when you are more talkactive than him :P). He is experienced in being a host and takes everything… read more

Tom is the most relaxed, flexible and calm host ever. I enjoyed every day we spent together.
During the day he is at work, so you have a lot of time to discover Brussels (which is an incredible city!). After, you would need to help him just for a couple of hours. He was always really respectfull and kind.
We also had a lot of fun watching movies,… read more

Tom was a great host to share a passion for art with. Being part of his creative process was a totally new experience for me, but he made me feel completely at ease and it was an honour to pose for him. His line work is incredible and so expressive.
