Matthew Scott

Matthew Scott is a landscape artist originally from Middlesbrough and now residing in Barnard Castle, Durham.

Working primarily in oil and watercolour, his work aims to capture the beauty of the landscapes of Northern England, most notably in the national parks of the Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors and Lake District. Matthew draws inspiration from observing nature while hiking, then uses a combination of photos and memories to evoke the atmosphere and feel of the scene on canvas. He uses colour and mark making to emphasise changing light and weather conditions throughout the seasons.

The submitted work is a selection of recent oil paintings of scenes from across northern England, including the Yorkshire Dales and Lake District. They depict a variety of natural landscapes that represent a cross section of my usual subject matter: waterfalls, woodland, mountains, dales and valleys. All 4 pieces submitted are in oil paint on canvas.
