Portraits and paintings from life.
Rowan Fullerton is a British portrait painter trained at Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence. Working in oil, she makes portraits through direct observation, with an emphasis on likeness, tone and the presence of the sitter.
From life
Measured observation under natural light
Sight-size is a method of observing the sitter and the work side by side from a fixed viewing distance, allowing proportion, tone and the whole effect to be judged directly.
Portraits develop over time through sittings, usually under natural light, so that drawing, colour and character can be considered with care.
