Rosemary Carr ROI
Rosemary Carr paints the landscape around her in Connemara using oil with a palette knife. She always paints outside, and only finishes her work in her studio. She tries to catch ‘the moment’.
Method of Working
Rosemary works from life, in oils, on canvas or wood panel. She only uses a brush to plan out the painting to start with. She finishes a work (about 89%) in one sitting, outside, and only finishes it from photographs in her studio when it’s dry. She plans out the piece in tones, then drives straight in with oils.
