Fujiko rose won landscape artist of the year 2019 in final at battersea power station.

The Location

• So many verticals and/or dominant structures
• So much architecture. 
• So little natural landscape!!!

By using the word 'nocturne' I wished to indicate an artistic interest alone, divesting the picture of any outside anecdotal interest which might have been otherwise attached to it. A nocturne is an arrangement of line, form and colour first  - attributed to Whistler in Dorment and MacDonald, p.122

A TV Journey

• Patsy Moore won Heat 2 - see  Review: Episode 2 of Landscape Artist of the Year 2019 at Herstmonceux Observatory
• Fujiko Rose won Heat 3 -  Review: Episode 3 of Landscape Artist of the Year 2019 - Millenium Bridge Gateshead  where shad to get to grips with cropping an iconic bridge
• Sue England - came through as the Wildcard winner in the Semi Finals after being the Wildcard winner at Herstmonceaux Castle - see  Review: Episode 4 of Landscape Artist of the Year 2019 at Herstmonceux Castle
• the night time LIGHT does really weird things to night time COLOURS - which means a nocturnal painting can end up looking extremely odd in daylight
• you get VERY tired if you haven't been planning sleep around painting into the night and/or you're not used to staying up really late - and being tired does not make for good painting
• you very definitely need a strategy for painting at night - otherwise a painting can lose its way and look muddled.

The Commissions

The ruins have attracted artists over the years, including Joseph Mallord William Turner who painted them from the opposite hillside.

The Assessment

"This just changes everything" Kate Bryan

Fujiko Rose

Summary of fujiko rose - a professional artist and wallpaper designer - by judges:.

• monochrome use of Indian ink on paper (no colour) - plus use of masking fluid 
• timeless quality
• great strength in composition - often very beautiful
• great ability to edit view and crop
• can break down a structure in terms of verticals and horizontals and curves
• combines structure of buildings with images of nature

Patsy Moore

Summary of patsy moore - a professional artist and art tutor - by judges:.

• very traditional painter 
• a great colourist - combines warm and cool tones
• typically uses pink grounds for her paintings in oil.
• able to provide a lot of detail - who has a smart shorthand for suggesting detail
• verges on the romantic

Were we expecting watercolour? Kate Bryan

Sue England 

• distinct style whose wildcard painting "jumped out"
• essentially a colourist
• paints in a very fluid brushy way
• 'mucky painter' in terms of using her hands
• Kathleen ane Kate liked her composition
• Tai liked the organic feel associated with her slabby paintwork

and the winner is.....

• outstanding  and amazing Kate 
• phenomenal piece of work Tai 
• the movement in it is incredible because there is nothing in the middle Kathleen
• both paintings side by side make sense of her work as a whole Kathleen

We're really delighted with our winner. Fujiko makes complete sense as an artist. She captures light so beautifully. She knows what she's doing.  Kate Bryan

She's mashing up printmaking techniques with ink drawing and doing it in really interesting ways Kathleen Soriano

It's new basically What's she's doing is new is doing.....I think her and Venice are going to get on like a house on fire Tai van Schierenberg

Contemporary Botanical Illustration with Ink

A course by fujiko rose , fine and decorative artist.

Learn to combine traditional and modern inking techniques to create contemporary botanical drawings, exploring the principles of balance and composition

Bon cours pour débuter. Les bases sont essentielles. Je recommande.

condadosaiz

Excelente curso, es una pena que su libro no se envié a España, por lo demás muy bueno.

Es básico pero lo básico no es tan fácil de aprender. Ella da un estilo propio porque tiene un concepto detrás. Es una artista hablando de técnica. Recomendable.

Fujiko Rose A course by Fujiko Rose

Fujiko Rose is a UK-based fine and decorative artist who works predominantly in ink, using both traditional and modern techniques to create intricate drawings that combine realism and abstraction. Her interests in history, literature, film, architecture, and fashion motivated her to pursue a career in the arts at a young age. After exploring the world of design by selling hand-printed wallpapers and fabrics, she won the televised competition Landscape Artist of the Year , which gave her the visibility she needed to kick-start her career.

While mainly selling original artwork and prints, she has participated in a number of exhibitions like The Other Art Fair and joined JC Gallery Mayfair, where she hosted her first solo show. She has also collaborated with COS at Coal Drops Yard, RIBA, and Adidas London x Creative Debuts.

b. 1997, England ​ "I like to say that my work is celebratory. An example of how I work is that I might visit a place and something about it will grip me. Then, when I eventually go about drawing it, I’ll consider the intention of the place as well as the experience of being there. From there, it’s a mix of serious overthinking and being playful; designing compositions, layering techniques, and having fun with different styles and themes."
