Ruth Eisenhart BA (Hons) Dip A. Printmaking

This course is suitable for beginners and advanced students who are interested in using painting as a vehicle for personal growth. You will use painting in a playful and intuitive way to enhance what you already know and learn how to remove blocks which may have been preventing your further development. Colour harmonies will be explored in relation to the external world by the use of a life model, as well as painting from imagination so that colour can be understood or 'realised' as part of the psyche of 'inner space'. In an atmosphere that is stimulating and non-competitive, working in a group and individually, you are encouraged to shed stale and repetitive habits that prevent the natural flow of creative energy.

Ruth Eisenhart studied with Cecil Collins for many years. She incorporates some of his unique methods as well as her own intuitive understanding and style into her teaching in order to help students realise their own creative potential.
