About Stuart Jones

 
 
  • Biography
    I am a plein air painter based in the North East of England. My inspiration comes from the local landscape which is made up of many green woodlands, rugged moorland, and coastal views.  

    I paint in oil and nearly every painting is finished on location, as I use the 'direct painting' technique of painting wet into wet. The challenge of plein air painting is to boldy record lighting effects and colour as it's observed, making every brushstroke count.  This lends my paintings a sense of immediacy and an instinctive quality that I enjoy.
