Oil on Canvas, 45x56cm, Framed
Rachel enjoys capturing the light and atmosphere of a landscape. Particularly dark and rugged areas like that of Dartmoor in Devon, a place in which she is lucky to have right on her doorstep. She tries to simplify a scene to its necessities, invoking atmosphere and emotion; so that the audience can feel the space she depicting rather than just view it. She paints using oils on a textured base on canvas or paper. Often removing oil, scraping and scratching, that she adds throughout the process whilst building up other areas with thicker textures – giving the piece a rugged feel like the wild environment that inspired her.
