Ruth Fitton joins East Oaks Studio for a boutique 3-day workshop exploring expressive portrait painting. This will be a small workshop, limited to six in-person attendees, as well as a virtual demonstration through Atelier Live. The course will focus on the creation of a fully developed portrait from life, beginning from a strong narrative composition, refining a precise likeness, creating a luminous and exciting painting.  We will study texture, brushwork, and edges, as well as form and colour.

Morning sessions will consist of a portrait demonstration, in which Ruth will describe her process as she paints a portrait from life and answers questions.

Afternoon sessions will give in-person students an opportunity to put into practice what they learned in the demo, and receive feedback.

This exclusive workshop is limited to six in-person students, who will receive a significant amount of one-on-one instruction from Ruth.

Intended for intermediate/advanced students who have a strong understanding of painting fundamentals, which include draftsmanship, paint handling, and an understanding of form.
