WATERCOLOUR

Rosy received a foundation in fine art in England, and worked in graphic design before immigrating to Canada.
She now focuses on painting in watercolour.
 

Rosy is a Fellow of the Ottawa Watercolour Society.

Artist's Statement

Painting in watercolour is for me a meditation. I love the challenge, the unique movements of the medium, the contrasts of control and unpredictability, the total focus it demands. I enjoy the tension between working within rules, and allowing intuition to speak. Through the play of light and dark, of colours, shapes, textures, lines, the defined and the undefined, the stated and the implied I attempt to capture some essence of my subject, be it in nature, people or objects.
