Making Memories, Guest Artist in Jitterbug in June!
Tracy Rose Artist
Exhibition Details
Showcase of work at Jitterbug for the month of June, Tracy Rose presents a collection that reflects her unique artistic style, emphasizing the beauty of Ulverston through her vibrant watercolours and intricate ink-pen details.
Watercolour and Ink-pen
Memories come to life in Watercolour and Ink-pen for artist Tracy Rose. Exhibiting her work in Jitterbug for the month of June led to her creating some Ulverston themed Original Artwork.
She writes, 'I enjoy painting scenes that provide me with memories of places that I have visited in local areas and on holidays; places I enjoy spending my time. My focus is painting street scenes capturing the character and charm of old-style buildings, alongside painting landscapes and seascapes.' I think you will agree Ulverston is a town that fits the bill of interest.
Tracy Rose tends to use bright saturated colours to pick out the textures and mood of the moment.
In the past her works have been described as painting in a naive style. The Artist agrees with this as she enjoys painting with deliberate simplicity and bright colours along with common themes of nature, community and everyday life.
Painting Practices
Tracy Rose prefers to paint in watercolour and use bright saturated colours outlining features with ink pen to recreate a joyful atmosphere.
But she is not stuck on this method and experiments with mixed media using foils, metallic water colours and pencils. She states 'Being self taught I follow no convention. My paintings are an interpretation of what I see and find interesting at the time.'
The work involves sketching in the moment and taking reference photos to capture the colours and light to help in the completion of the paintings created at her leisure at home . Enjoying the memories being recreated as she paints.
