Ruth Eisenhart BA (Hons) Sculpture, Dip A. Printmaking

This course is suitable for beginners and advanced students who are interested in using painting as a vehicle for personal growth, and in learning to work in a more intuitive and creative way. 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, students are encouraged to shed stale and repetitive habits that prevent the natural flow of creative energy.

Ruth Eisenhart studied with the eminent teacher and painter Cecil Collins for 8 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.
