Charles Spratt
1938 -Charles Spratt has been painting seriously for 30 years. The masterful brushwork and artistic interpretation, so immediately recognizable in his work, can be seen in the many hundreds of paintings that have found their way into corporate boardrooms, institutions and private collections. With more than 25 major solo exhibitions in galleries in Calgary, Toronto and Ottawa, there is a steady demand for his work.
Originally trained in oils, the artist now paints exclusively in watercolour and acrylics. In 1999 at the Algonquin Park Visitor Centre, his solo exhibition, Northern Legacy - the culmination of 3 year's work in the Park, was a major success with sales to buyers from Canada, USA and Europe.
Over the years, Charles has taught both portrait and landscape painting for numerous Ontario collages and has given workshops across Canada, sharing his passion for painting. He has appeared on television on numerous occasions to discuss his techniques and demonstrate his skills as a painter. He is a co-founder of the successful Ottawa Fine Art Festival and, with a painting partner, organized outdoor painting trips to Quebec for more than 10 years.
The artist is a past president of the Manotick Art Association and the Ottawa Watercolour Society. He was elected to fellowship in the Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour (CSPWC) in 1996 and the Society of Canadian Painters (SCA) in 2009.
Now fully retired from a family business, Charles enjoys more time to focus on his painting. His home and studio are located in Manotick (Ottawa). Along with his passion for art, he shares his enjoyment of outdoor recreation and playing jazz with his wife and partner of many years.
