Rosanne Croucher - Landscape painter

Rosanne Croucher is a landscape oil painter from Hamilton New Zealand. She sees herself as a 'painter of moments' as well as landscapes, capturing the splendour, light and mood of ordinary everyday Aotearoa scenes. In this episode we talk about Rose's experience completing a masters degree of design and visual arts at Unitec in Auckland, which she completed in 2013; how she juggles being a mother of 3 children whilst still prioritising time to paint; why she likes to capture ordinary scenes as well as magestic landscapes; how she brings her imagination into her landscape work and why she loves to paint still water, mist and atmosphere. We talk process - from her preference for preparing her own ACM boards and mounting and adhering canvas or linen on top, to techniques she uses for priming and colour mixing, using a rag as well as brushes and the joys and challenges of plein air painting. Roseanne generously shares a mental health condition she has lived with for 30 years called TTM or Trichotillomania which she has recently overcome, how this has affected her life and why she now feels ready to share this with others. This is a wonderful episode I know you'll enjoy. Ngā mihi thank you to Roseanne for sharing her beautiful practice and for sharing her personal beliefs and mental health with us.
