Lucy Marks - contemporary landscape painter
Lucy Marks grew up in and around Brighton. Lucy has worked for over 20 years as a professional painter. Her practise focuses on capturing landscapes, seascapes and urbanscapes in Oil, Watercolour and Gouache. Lucy is an observational landscape painter, who works en plein air 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.

times of the day
Opening on 7th September 2024 at the Royal Watercolour Society Gallery, London, Lucy’s latest solo exhibition, Times of the Day, featured over 80 works that explored the effects of light across landscapes and urban settings from dawn through the day and into the night.
This collection included pieces in oil, watercolor, and gouache, with many painted en plein air and larger works completed in the studio. Each painting emphasized the dynamic impact of light on color, shadows, and landmarks, with night scenes delving into the subtle nuances of low light.
Inspired by stunning locations in the UK and abroad, Lucy’s works reflect her deep understanding of color and her ability to convey the changing atmosphere throughout the day.
