Rosie Port Art

My artwork is created using high-quality watercolor paints, complemented by pen and ink. I work on cold-pressed and rough handmade watercolor paper, which provides a textured base and enhances the final piece. The paper’s absorbency allows me to use wet-on-wet techniques, creating unpredictable blends and interactions that add abstraction to my work. I layer watercolor before adding detailed linework with ink pens, gel pens, and paint pens to create movement, texture, and depth. A defining feature of my art is the use of gold ink to highlight and create focal points. I also experiment with materials like graphite, masking fluid, salt, plastic wrap, and sponges to explore textures and effects.
