Jonathan Pitts Email & Phone Number

Jonathan studied Fine art at Falmouth College of Arts where he specialised in painting. Initially he focused on plein air landscape watercolours and gained national recognition after winning the 2nd prize at the Sunday Times Watercolour Competition. His painting has evolved from a focus on thin watercolour glazes, to exploring thick ‘impasto’ paint applied liberally to canvas and paper. ‘I find that when I am in a landscape, I am aware of everything happening around me, the wildlife is constantly moving, the clouds are changing every second and the land is being cultivated and shaped. Nothing is still, everything moves. In my painting I am trying to create a semi-abstracted image where nothing feels still, where you feel that you are in that landscape.’Jonathan’s paintings are in private collections worldwide.EducationFalmouth College of Arts, BA(Hons) Fine Art.Worcester College of Technology, BTEC diploma in art and design.Awards2nd prize winner: Sunday Times Watercolour Competition, 2011.Sail Loft Bursary, awarded by Falmouth College of Arts, 2004.Selected ExhibitionsCotswold Contemporary, Cirencester, 2021Singulart.com online gallery.
