Cath Rolinson - Fine Art

I have studied Botanical Illustration for a number of years and worked in a range of media, including acrylic, coloured pencil, pen, pencil and watercolour. Most of my work is in watercolour using traditional techniques. The forest in Nottinghamshire provides a rich source of subjects, particularly in autumn, when the fungi emerge from the forest floor.

I was taught traditional Botanical Illustration in watercolour but have found the technique useful to apply to my acrylic paintings, but with the advantage of using the paint more freely. I do acknowledge that my natural inclination is to do paintings using small brushes and detail at some stage!
