Roz Edwards’ flower paintings do not aim for botanical accuracy. Instead this artist uses her subject matter as a starting point for an exploration into mark making and expression with bright, harmonious colour. The Jackson’s Art Blog wanted to ask Roz Edwards more about her flower paintings with a difference.<\/h5>\n
\"Roz<\/a>
Roz Edwards: ‘Painting of Irises’, acrylic on canvas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

Lisa:\u00a0How would you describe your flower paintings?<\/em><\/p>\n

Roz: My flower paintings are very bold. I use strong bright colours and high contrasts.I always have a coloured background which is an important and integral part of the design. I usually have parts of the flowers or leaves “touch the sides” of the painting as this creates interesting negative spaces.I never have my flowers floating in the middle and I cannot work with a white background. I often work with a slightly impressionistic style building up the painting with many layers of small dots and dabs of paint.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would never describe my work as botanically accurate. You can tell what type of flower I have painted, but I am a few degrees away from realism.I use a bit of artistic licence to enhance colours and pattern on the flowers. My main aim is to make a painting that is visually interesting not just a botanical study.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Roz<\/a>

Lisa:\u00a0What is it about painting flowers that you are so drawn to?<\/em><\/p>\n

Roz: The main thing that attracts me to flowers is the range of bright colours. I associate flowers with warmth, summer and sunshine. Flowers make you happy!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Flowers look good from a distance , but close up are so different and so interesting. If you study them really closely they become a series of individual shapes with each petal and leaf having their own form and colours. I especially like back lit flowers where all the colours take on a new dimension and you get extra shapes forming through the flower with light and shade areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lisa:\u00a0What are your favourite art materials to work with and why?<\/em><\/p>\n

Roz: My favourite materials are acrylics. I can build my work up in many layers. It enables me to make big changes by painting over areas I do not like. I like the way I can put light colours over dark. I like the way the paint dries really quickly and becomes permanent. I can build up my painting fairly quickly and just keep over-painting lots of shades and tones until I get the result I want. I like the strength and vibrancy of the colours.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have tried many different acrylics. I use a basic quality paint for the base layers of my painting, such as System 3<\/a> or Galeria<\/a>. For the detail I use a higher quality paint. I have used Chromacolour for many years. I recently discovered AV Vallejo Acrylic Gouache<\/a> and Turner Acryl gouache<\/a>. I have been very impressed with both.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Roz<\/a>
Roz Edwards: ‘Orchid I’, acrylic on canvas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lisa:\u00a0Can you tell us a bit about how you first started learning to paint?<\/em><\/p>\n

Roz: I have always been artistic from childhood. Art has always been part of my life. My degree is in art.\u00a0I have spent my entire career teaching art to 11 to 18 year olds. I have also taught ceramics, photography and art textiles. I have always been involved with creative things at work and in my leisure time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I have now left teaching to focus on my own art. I can do many styles from large textured abstracts to tiny pen and ink studies. However, my favourite area is contemporary floral. I have recently become a full member of the Society of Floral Painters<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As far as learning is concerned , I don’t think I have ever stopped learning about art. I enjoy visiting exhibitions and galleries. I look at lots of art websites and buy many art books. I continue to practise, experiment and hopefully improve my own work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lisa:\u00a0You have very kindly offered to take us through step by step the process of painting a flower painting. What is your chosen subject matter and what ability do you think you need to have to try this out?<\/em><\/p>\n

Roz: My favourite flower is irises, especially large bearded irises. I love the shapes of the petals and the wide range of colours. I like the patterns on the petals and the way they twist and turn. I grow some in my garden but the flowering season is only about 2 months, so I have to take lots of good photos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am going to show you a step by step painting of 3 irises. The painting shows good contrasts of colour. I have slightly overlapped the flowers, and created a composition where your eye is drawn down the canvas from flower to flower. I have used a long rectangular canvas as this lends itself well to flower studies.<\/strong><\/p>\n
