Lucy Marks - contemporary landscape painter
Lucy Marks is an observational landscape painter, who works en plein air in both oil and watercolour working directly from the subject, out in all weathers and seasons. Observation is key and her compositions are drawn from real places. Lucy works alla prima responding directly to the scene to gain a freshness in her work. She works to capture an impression of the mood, atmosphere, and light. In the studio, she uses her en plein air works and field sketches to scale up her paintings to much larger work. . She exhibits her works in prestigious art institutions, has won many awards, is well published and holds an MA in Fine Art from Brighton University.

Observation & Light
For her latest body of work, Lucy set out to create a series of plein air works, observing nature and exploring light. She also worked from life back in her studio to create a series of flower paintings observing nature close at hand. Although all the works were created during the Winter, it has been a joy for Lucy to see the rich and varied colours and light that low sun can bring to the landscape.
Her passion when painting is to catch the mood of a moment in the scene. This latest series is a body of smaller plein air works painted in the environment in either oil or watercolour. Lucy focuses on observing what is around her at any given time, and how light interplays with the changing scenes she is presented with.
