Andrew Field
Andrew Field is an established British landscape painter based in Stratford-Upon-Avon. His paintings are characterised by gestural paint application, which relates closely to his expressive approach to art making. Deeply committed to nature, Field is an artist who endeavours to communicate how he feels about the landscape that he depicts. Field uses oil paint in different states, experimenting with the physicality of the paint and applying colours and brush-marks instinctively using his intuition to guide the development of his work. Field takes his inspiration from the landscape of the British Isles, primarily Cornwall and Devon as well as the Cotswolds and the countryside surrounding Stratford-Upon-Avon. Water is of huge importance to Field who has fished all his life. He seeks solace along the river bank searching for inspiration or looking out to sea along the Cornish coastline.
Field graduated from Lancaster University in 2001 with a 1st Class Honours Degree in Art & Design with Geography and has a Masters in Education. He has continued to paint and teach for the past 25 years. In his twenties and early thirties he lived in Abu Dhabi painting renditions of the landscape. Field’s paintings can be found in Dubai International Financial Centre offices including Goldman Sachs, Coutts Bank, Standard & Poor's and Brunswick in Abu Dhabi. In 2021, Field collaborated with SMC Art Consultancy to create four large paintings inspired by The British Isles for SAGA Cruises boutique ship, Spirit of Adventure. Field has exhibited at Mall Galleries in London with The Royal Society of British Artists, The Royal Society of Oil Painters as well as The Royal Society of Marine Artists. Celebrated and highly renowned artist, Chris Levine selected Field’s painting called ‘Serpentine’ for the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition 2024 and purchased the piece. In 2025 Field was voted Cotswold Artist of the Year, organised by Cotswold Concierge.
Andrew often demonstrates using Wallace Seymour Fine Art Materials as he has developed a good understanding with how Pip and Rebecca Seymour manufacture their products using artisan techniques, having visited their factory in Settle, North Yorkshire. Andrew has written articles for The Artist magazine completing demonstrations of working in oils and mixed media and he is a tutor at Cornwall School of Art and has demonstrated and run workshops at art societies across the UK.
Offers: Demonstrations, Workshops, Mini workshops, Talks, Online sessions, Appraisals & Critiques, Holidays
Media: I work in oils, watercolour and acrylic as well as mixed media. I can also lead drawing workshops and demonstrations using a range of dry materials including charcoal, pastels, graphite, fine-liner and wet media such as Indian ink and other drawing inks.
Subjects: I am a landscape painter but I have two distinct approaches to painting. I create abstract landscapes that are developed over a number of sessions and rely heavily on experience, memory and working intuitively and allowing my subconscious to dictate the direction of my work.
The second approach is working all prima in one session whereby I am responding to the landscape either plain-air or with reference to photographs in the studio and using a limited palette and expressive brush marks, to create renditions of the landscape. These paintings are more impressionistic in style and are usually completed in a two to three hour session.
I have also painted still life and I would be interested in running a series of still life workshops and demonstrations, responding to flowers, fruit and other natural forms.
