We are a month away from Ruth Fitton’s workshop, Expressive Portrait Painting!

This virtual workshop is available through Atelier Live. Join us as Ruth paints a fully developed portrait from life, beginning with a strong narrative composition, through to refining a precise likeness. We will study the use of color mixing and edge-work to create an exciting illusion of form, and brushwork as a means of portraying character. Ruth will begin each day with a lecture explaining her process and the approach she will take in her demonstration.

Information about Atelier Live subscriptions and full workshop details are in the link in our bio. We can’t wait to share this special workshop with you! 🎨

Resident artist Meghan Sours continuing the tradition of painting peaches! Meghan has been an East Oaks resident for two years and brings so much beauty and wisdom to the studio.

She shares a monthly newsletter with her insights on art and life. The following is an excerpt:

“The most beautiful and true works of art are those that remind us of our flawed humanity. It is the mess, the individuality, the break in the patterns that often surprise and remind us what a messy, lovely, and vulnerable thing it is to be human.”
