Before establishing himself as a free painter in Blaricum in 1908, W.G.F. Jansen as a decorative painter at the Rozenburg porcelain factory in The Hague and as a pottery designer in Gouda. His work can be characterized as an afterglow of the Hague School.
It was Jacob Maris in particular whom he admired, which is reflected in his smooth thinking and love for the purely Dutch landscape.

He was widely praised for his highly developed sense of color nuances, especially in colored whites, greens and grays.
