Hi friends and welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss!
Today for episode 51 of Cracked I’m joined by Ellen Van Dijk . She’s a stained glass artist based in The Netherlands best known for her  photo realistic portraits. Drawing and painting portraits since childhood, her love for drawing and the desire for creative expression has been present for as long as she can remember. The combination of portraiture and learning to make stained glass windows brought her to where she is today. Today we’re talking about her personal experience with heartfelt portrait commissions, travel adventures of teaching, her in person classes as well as her online classes, and a couple really great glass paining glass hacks! To see more of Ellen's work, her instagram is  @glasatelierellen  and her website is glasatelierellen.com.
For the Cracked Patreon page members Ellen is offering 15% off of her online courses. The link to that is always in my bio or the show notes!
