Natalie Burke's Collection of

Amsterdam School Water Colors

pays homage to the unique buildings and intricate details of the Amsterdam School. Each detail and structure has been rendered in ink and enhanced with watercolor, using natural pigments sourced from Verfmolen De Kat in Zaandam. The Amsterdam School is an architectural style that emerged in the early 20th century in the Netherlands. It is characterized by expressive brickwork, sculptural detailing, and dynamic, asymmetrical facades that seamlessly incorporate decorative elements into the building's structure. As you stroll through Amsterdam's streets, the influence of the Amsterdam School is evident everywhere. The careful balance between intricate details and simplicity is striking. The brickwork appears to organically dance, while retaining a sense of mathematical precision and order. It is a testament to the harmonious blend of artistic expression and functional design that defines the Amsterdam School style.
